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

Introduction Trauma is the leading cause of death for individuals under 45 in the United States (US), with significant disparities in outcomes among minority groups. Latinos, the largest ethnic minority in the US, often face barriers to optimal trauma care that may require additional resources. This study aimed to compare trauma outcomes for Latino patients treated at Level I versus Level II/III trauma centers (TCs). Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis using the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) from 2019 to 2021. Latino patients aged ≥ 18 years treated at Level I and Level II/III TCs were included. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, while secondary outcomes included length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) LOS, ventilator days, in-hospital complications, and discharge disposition. Propensity score matching was used to control for age, sex, injury severity, and mechanism of injury. Statistical analyses were performed with a significance level of
