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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to systematically review evidence that supports best practice post-crash response emergency care. STUDY

designThe research questions to achieve the study objective were developed using the Patient, Intervention, Control, Outcome standard following which a systematic literature review (SLR) of research related to prehospital post-road-crash was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

resultsA total of 89 papers were included in the analysis, presented according to the PRISMA guidelines.

conclusionsThis research explored and identified key insights related to emergency care post-road-crash response. The findings showed that interservice coordination and shared understanding of roles was recommended. Application of traditional practice of the "Golden Hour" has been explored and contested as a standard for all care. Notwithstanding this, timeliness of provision of care remains important to certain patient groups suffering certain injury types and is supported as part of a trauma system approach for patient care.
