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

backgroundTrauma surgery is characterized by high-acuity, low-frequency events. While trauma remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, surgical residents experience reduced trauma operative volumes during training. This paper highlights an important innovation for improvement of trauma surgery training: use of camera systems to record high fidelity video footage of open trauma cases.

methodsThis paper describes the systematic approach of integrating video camera recording of open trauma surgical cases at the Sotero del Rio Hospital in Santiago, Chile. Recording devices include both hand-held and head-mounted action cameras. We describe surgical team roles and responsibilities as well as workflow for patient consent, maintenance and management of recording equipment, and video storage and editing.

resultsOur system of open trauma video recording has resulted in the largest video repository of emergent, high-fidelity trauma cases. Our video library contains over 1000 hours of video featuring over 250 independent operations and a broad variety of trauma cases.

conclusionsSuccessful implementation of an open trauma video recording program requires clearly stated roles and responsibilities, a shift in work culture, and full integration of video recording into a trauma system's existing workflow. Use of the appropriate handheld and head-mounted cameras offers the opportunity to seamlessly collect high quality video footage with minimal impact to the operating team. A large and diverse open trauma video repository allows surgical trainees to review novel cases, attending surgeons to review previous cases, and overall improvement of educational conferences and didactics. Surgical trauma video recording and postoperative review represents a viable, inexpensive, and highly transportable solution to the recent reductions in overall trauma caseloads for surgical trainees across the globe.
