1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposePrompt vascular access is crucial for resuscitating bleeding trauma casualties in prehospital settings but achieving peripheral intravenous (PIV) access can be challenging during hemorrhagic shock due to peripheral vessel collapse. Early intraosseous (IO) device use is suggested as an alternative. This study examines injury characteristics and factors linked to IO access requirements.

methodsA registry-based cohort study from the Israel Defense Forces Trauma Registry (2010 - 2023) included trauma casualties receiving PIV or IO access prehospital. Casualties who had at least one documented PIV or IO access attempt were included, while those without vascular access were excluded. Casualties requiring both PIV and IO were classified in the IO group. Univariable logistic regression assessed the factors associated with IO access. Results were reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and significant difference was set at p < 0.05.

resultsOf 3462 casualties (86.3% male, the median age: 22 years), 3287 (94.9%) received PIV access and 175 (5.1%) had IO access attempts. In the IO group, 30.3% received freeze-dried plasma and 23.4% received low titer group O whole blood, significantly higher than that in the PIV group. Prehospital mortality was 35.0% in the IO group. Univariable analysis showed significant associations with IO access for increased PIV attempts (OR = 1.69; 95% CI: 1.34 - 2.13) and signs of profound shock (OR = 11.0; 95% CI: 5.5 - 23.3).

conclusionProfound shock signs are strongly linked to the need for IO access in prehospital settings with each successive PIV attempt increasing the likelihood of requiring IO conversion. IO access often accompanies low titer group O whole blood or freeze-dried plasma administration and higher prehospital mortality, indicating its use in emergent resuscitation situations. Early IO consideration is advised for trauma casualties with profound shock.
