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

Exsanguinating hemorrhage is the most common cause of preventable death after trauma. Since the development of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the airway, breathing and circulation (ABCs) have been applied to early resuscitation in different contexts including trauma. The ABCs have been a pivotal paradigm in the Advanced Trauma Life Support course since its development, but recent data have indicated that prioritizing the management of eXsanguinating hemorrhage (x-ABC) improves outcomes. In this review, we examine the history and evolution of the ABCs in the context of resuscitation research to the recent adoption of x-ABC in trauma.
