Perioperative Management of the Geriatric Trauma Patient.
Article in Current anesthesiology reports, 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
Purpose of Review: An increasing number of trauma patients are elderly. These patients present unique challenges due to their distinct physiological changes and injury patterns. This article aims to summarize recent literature on perioperative management of geriatric trauma patients for anesthesia providers. Recent Findings: Ageing is a multisystem process which may impair the ability of the older person to physiologically respond to trauma. The addition of frailty may further increase their vulnerability to complications.With regards to operative planning, regional anesthesia has not been shown to reduce the risk of delirium compared to general anesthesia. This has been mostly shown with regards to hip fractures, an injury with a high incidence amongst the elderly. There was no reduction in mortality with accelerated hip fracture repair within 6 h of presentation. Summary: Geriatric patients sustain different injuries and mount more limited physiological responses to trauma than their younger counterparts. Pre-existing frailty amongst the elderly may also contribute to complications in the perioperative period.
