Emergency Field Hospital Surgical Response to Cyclone Chido in Mayotte.
Article in World journal of surgery, 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
backgroundThe Island of Mayotte was struck by the tropical cyclone CHIDO on 12/14/2024. The French government decided to deploy the Element de Securite Civile Rapide d'Intervention Medicale (ESCRIM) involving a joint detachment of rescue engineers from UIISC7 (Unité d'Instruction et d'Intervention de la Sécurité Civile) and firefighters, comprising a medical support and hospitalization detachment and a surgical support detachment. The aim of this work is to focus on the role of ESCRIM surgical team in Mayotte.
methodsESCRIM received 5533 patients between 12/24/2024 and 02/03/2025. A prospective cohort study was conducted from 12/31/2024 to 01/20/2025 on a subset of 130 consecutive patients which underwent surgery in the operating room (OR). Variables included patient demographics, surgical indications, and anaesthetic techniques used. Anonymised data were collected from medical records, surgical reports, and clinical notes.
resultsThere were 169 surgical procedures. The mean age of the patients was 31 years, 68% were female, and 27% of procedures were performed in children. General anaesthesia was used in 57% of procedures. The main surgical indications were post-traumatic extremity septic wounds of the upper limb (38%) and lower limb (27%). 80% of the wounds were grade IV according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Surgical Wound Classification.
conclusionThis study highlights the importance of adapting surgical practices in resource-limited settings and the necessity of in-depth cooperation and coordination among the entire response team and local practitioners. The results of this study contribute to the ongoing challenges of data collection in austere or limited environments.
