The impact of patient sex on survival after unintentional trauma in Korea: a retrospective, observational, case-control study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to describe the relationship between sex and survival in patients experiencing unintentional trauma.
methodsThis retrospective, national population-based observational, case-control study involved a cohort of Korean trauma patients who were transferred to an emergency department by a Korean emergency medical service from January 1 to December 31, 2018. Propensity score matching was used. The primary outcome was survival until hospital discharge.
resultsOf 25,743 patients with severe unintentional trauma, 17,771 were male and 7,972 were female. Prior to propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in survival among male and female patients (92.6% vs. 93.1%, P=0.105). After using propensity score matching to adjust for confounders, there was still no sex difference in survival (male, 93.6% vs. female, 93.1%; P=0.270).
conclusionSurvival after severe trauma was not influenced by the sex of the patient. Further studies with patients of reproductive age and a larger study population are needed to analyze the effects of sex on survival in patients with trauma.
