Changes in Injury Pattern and Outcomes of Trauma Patients after COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, starting in 2020, changed the daily activities of people in the world and it might also affect patterns of major trauma. This study aimed to compare the epidemiology and outcomes of trauma patients before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. This was a retrospective study, conducted in a single regional trauma center in Korea, and patients were grouped as pre- and post-COVID-19 and compared in terms of demographics, clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes. A total of 4585 patients were included in the study and the mean age was 57.60 ± 18.55 and 59.06 ± 18.73 years in the pre- and post-COVID-19 groups, respectively. The rate of elderly patients (age ≥ 65) significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 group. In terms of injury patterns, self-harm was significantly increased after COVID-19 (2.6% vs. 3.5%,
