Targeted Temperature Management for Traumatic Asphyxia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic asphyxia (TA) is a rare condition due to severe crush injury to the upper abdomen or chest region. Elevated intrathoracic pressure causes impaired venous return, which damages the small vessels. Consciousness is reportedly lost in many TA cases. In the most severe cases, hypoxic encephalopathy occurs. Since TA patients usually have other traumatic complications such as thoracic or abdominal injury, the mortality rate of this syndrome is quite variable. Hypothermia is a risk factor for mortality in trauma patients, and targeted temperature management (TTM) is rarely performed for trauma cases. There are scattered articles reporting the usefulness of TTM in severe traumatic brain injury. To our best knowledge, there have been no reports of TTM in TA cases. We herein report a TA case with decorticate rigidity having a good neurological outcome after TTM.
