Presentation, management and outcome of thoracic trauma in a resource-limited environment: A case series.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Trauma is a major public health problem, causing the death of >5 million people each year. One-fifth of these deaths are related to thoracic trauma (TT). This study aims to provide data on the presentation, management, and outcome of TT at the State University Hospital of Haiti (HUEH). Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center, formal case series of 35 cases of TT admitted to the General Surgery Department of HUEH from January 2013 to December 2017. Data analyzed included sociodemographic, preoperative (etiology and clinical presentation), management, and outcomes. The Exact Fischer, Welch and Mann-Whitney Results: Of our sample of 35 patients, there was a male predominance ( Conclusion: This is a rare study in the Haitian environment that explores TT. Rather than road traffic accidents, assaults caused mainly by firearms were the chief cause of TT and testify to the current climate of violence and insecurity in the country. Although most of the TT cases were manage by tube thoracostomy, one third needed additional laparotomy. Increased blood loss associated with poorer patient outcomes highlights the need for more transfusion services and the establishment of standard of care for TT in Haiti.
