The Impact of COVID-19 on Trauma Emergency Patients in Southeastern Iran.
Article in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 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
Objective: With the COVID-19 outbreak in countries around the world, the countries' healthcare systems underwent an unprecedented shock. This study aimed to examine the resilience of the medical service delivery system in providing emergency services during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This study was conducted in a reference hospital in Kerman that provided emergency services to trauma patients. It compared service delivery before and after COVID-19, as well as during the COVID-19 peak and non-peak periods. The compared variables were the number of trauma patients admitted to the hospital and the ICU, the number of patients who died in the hospital due to trauma, and the length of stay in the hospital and the ICU. Results: The pre- and post-COVID-19 comparisons showed no significant difference in the number of daily hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and patient deaths. The median length of stay in the ICU was significantly reduced by almost 2 days during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the length of stay at the hospital was almost the same. Furthermore, a comparison of the COVID-19 peaks and non-peak periods indicated no statistically significant difference in the number of admissions in the ICU, hospital and ICU length of stay, and trauma-induced mortality. Conclusion: Despite the substantial workload imposed by COVID-19 on hospitals, especially during the peak periods of the disease, the provision of medical services to emergency trauma patients did not drop significantly, and the quality of services provided to patients was within the acceptable range.
