Epidemiology and Outcomes of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Regional Trauma Center in Incheon, Korea, 2018-2022.
Article in Korean journal of neurotrauma, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: This study aims to explore the epidemiology and outcomes of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Incheon, focusing on regional characteristics using data from a local trauma center. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2022, 559 patients with severe TBI were studied. We analyzed factors related to demography, prehospitalization, surgery, complications, and clinical outcomes, including intensive care unit stay, ventilator use, hospital stay, mortality, and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) scores at discharge and after 6 months. Results: In this study, most severe TBI patients were in the 60-79 age range, constituting 37.4% of cases. Most patients (74.1%) used public emergency medical services for transportation, and 75.3% arrived directly at the hospital, a significantly higher proportion compared to transferred patients. Timewise, 40.0% reached the hospital within an hour of injury. Complication rates stood at 16.1%, with pneumonia being the most common. The mortality rate was 44.0%, and at discharge, 81.2% of patients had unfavorable outcomes (GOS 1-3), reducing to 70.1% at 6 months. Conclusion: As a pioneering study at Incheon's trauma center, this research provides insights into severe TBI outcomes, enhancing understanding by contrasting local and national data.
