Delta shock index predicts injury severity, interventions, and outcomes in trauma patients: A 10-year retrospective observational study.
Article in World journal of critical care medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundMost trauma occurs among young male subjects in Qatar. We examined the predictive values of the delta shock index (DSI), defined as the change in the shock index (SI) value from the scene to the initial reading in the emergency unit (
aimTo explore whether high DSI is associated with severe injuries, more interventions, and worse outcomes [
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted after data were extracted from the National Trauma Registry between 2011 and 2021. Patients were grouped based on DSI as low (≤ 0.1) or high (> 0.1). Data were analyzed and compared using
resultsThis analysis included 13212 patients with a mean age of 33 ± 14 years, and 24% had a high DSI. Males accounted for 91% of the study population. The trauma activation level was higher in patients with a high DSI (38%
conclusionIn addition to sex-biased observations, almost one-quarter of the study cohort had a higher DSI and were mostly young. High DSI correlated significantly with the other injury severity scores, which require more time and imaging to be ready to use. Therefore, DSI is a practical, simple bedside tool for triaging and prognosis in young patients with trauma.
