Weather and prehospital predictors of trauma patient mortality in a rural American state.

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: In rural settings, factors like weather and location can significantly impact total prehospital time and survival after injury. We sought to determine what prehospital conditions affect mortality and morbidity in severely injured patients. Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated adult trauma patients that were admitted to our level 1 trauma center with Glasgow Coma Score (GCS≤ 9), hypotension (SBP≤ 90 mmHg), or both. Weather and prehospital conditions on patient outcomes were evaluated. Weather data was extracted from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration public database. Prediction models were done using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 442 subjects were captured, Median time on the scene was 15 min [IQR =10, 20.5], with median time to definitive care 129 min [IQR= 61, 247]. Hypotension in the field was the greatest predictor of ED mortality (OR=11, Conclusion: Among severely injured patients being injured during cold weather was associated with higher in-hospital mortality among trauma transfer patients. Prehospital hypotension, hypoxia, and GCS≤9 are also independent predictors of mortality. Future analysis will explore factors impacting transport and field time in order to improve outcomes.
