Association between prehospital oxygen saturation and outcomes in hypotensive traumatic brain injury patients in Asia (Pan-Asian Trauma Outcomes Study (PATOS)).
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIt has been shown that blood pressure (BP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
methodsPrehospital trauma patients who were 18 years old or above with a diagnosis of TBI using ICD 10 codes (S06.0-S06.9) and had prehospital hypotension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 100 mmHg for patients aged 50-69 and < 110 mmHg for patients aged 15-49 or over 70 years) recorded from November 2015 to December 2022 in participating PATOS facilities were analyzed. SpO
resultsOut of 1,210 patients, 777 (64.2%) had normoxia, 319 (26.4%) had moderate hypoxia and 114 (9.4%) had severe hypoxia. Of these, survival to discharge was 92.5%, 74.9%, and 52.6% in the normoxia, moderate hypoxia, and severe hypoxia group, respectively (p < 0.0001). Favorable neurological outcomes in normoxia, moderate hypoxia, and severe hypoxia were 74.1%, 48.9 and 36%, respectively. AORs (95% CI) for survival and favorable neurological outcome compared with severe hypoxia were 3.34 (1.77-6.32)/1.83 (1.04-3.25) in the normoxia group and 2.15 (1.23-3.74)/2.23 (1.31-3.78) in the moderate hypoxia group respectively.
conclusionAn initial prehospital saturation of ≥ 94% was significantly associated with better hospital outcomes in hypotensive TBI patients.
