Trends of Hospitalizations and In-Hospital Outcomes for Traumatic Cardiac Injury in United States.
Article in Kansas journal of medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Traumatic cardiac injury (TCI) poses a significant risk of morbidity and mortality, yet there is a lack of population-based outcomes data for these patients. Methods: The authors examined national yearly trends, demographics, and in-hospital outcomes of TCI using the National Inpatient Sample from 2007 to 2014. We focused on adult patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of TCI, categorizing them into blunt (BTCI) and penetrating (PTCI) cardiac injury. Results: A total of 11,510 cases of TCI were identified, with 7,155 (62.2%) classified as BTCI and 4,355 (37.8%) as PTCI. BTCI was predominantly caused by motor vehicle collisions (66.7%), while PTCI was mostly caused by piercing injuries (67.4%). The overall mortality rate was 11.3%, significantly higher in PTCI compared to BTCI (20.3% vs. 5.9%, χ Conclusions: Patients with PTCI experienced higher mortality rates than those with BTCI. Within the PTCI group, young men from minority racial groups and low-income households had poorer outcomes. This highlights the need for early and specialized attention from emergency and cardiothoracic providers for patients in these demographic groups.
