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

backgroundDue to the demographic changes, including the need for more orthogeriatric co-management, addressing the healthcare of geriatric patients is an important issue.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to create an overview of the fundamental characteristics of centers for geriatric trauma ATZ-DGU including the distribution of departments and cooperations as well as the level of trauma care. The distribution of sites across Germany was compared to hospital and population data.

methodsCertified German ATZ-DGU were assigned to Trauma Center DGU

resultsDue to cooperations 188 institutions formed 147 ATZ-DGU and 152 provided orthogeriatric co-management in domo. Of the facilities with trauma surgery departments 86% (n = 168) were certified as TCs (level II = 33% > III = 30% > I = 22%). The number of ATZ-DGU per German state was correlated with the number of hospitals (r

conclusionThe levels of trauma care revealed a distribution referring to the different focus of the two certificates: treatment of the severely injured vs. geriatric co-treatment. On average, the population in the new German states was older, while there were less ATZ-DGU; however, there seemed to be a slight tendency towards improvement.
