1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 management of a severely injured patient according to the standards and principles of individualized trauma care is a well-established procedure in many hospitals. The process is structured and standardized by the content of several course formats. In contrast, a mass casualty incident (MCI, MANV) is a rare and exceptional situation. In this case the treatment priorities and approaches are changed. The main aim in this situation is to ensure the best possible chance of survival for every casualty by organizational measures to mobilize rooms, personnel and material and to temporarily abandon the standards of individualized trauma care. To be prepared for a MCl situation it is necessary to know the realistic scenarios, to update the hospital emergency plan and to adapt all treatment procedures to the transient lack of resources. This article gives an overview of this process and summarizes the current clinical concepts to cope with a MCl situation and the current principles for the care of the severely injured involving many casualties.
