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
Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting mortality due to spinal cord trauma in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This study was conducted in a group of patients who were admitted to the ICU with a Traumatic Spinal Injuries (TSI) diagnosis. The researcher started sampling by assessing the documents of the patients hospitalized in the ICU, and the diagnosis of TSI was confirmed for them. Besides, utilizing a researcher-made checklist, factors affecting the mortality of patients were identified. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 16. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: About 412 (64.2%) patients were men, about 213 (33.2%) of the patients had GCS between 3-8 grade. There were injuries in the pelvis area. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between GCS score status and the number of injury follow-ups in addition to TSI. Therefore, the mortality rate was higher in patients who had lower GCS (Odds ratio=2.32, Conclusion: The patients' mortality was influenced by factors such as their level of consciousness, the number of traumas caused in the spinal cord, and the occurrence of comorbidities such as cerebrovascular accident, cardiac arrest, ARDS, and pneumonia. Therefore, it is necessary to take the essential measures to reduce these complications.
