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

backgroundSince the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) was first developed in 1987, it has been widely used to predict trauma outcomes. However, numerous attempts have been made to adjust coefficients or develop new prediction models, as TRISS may not align with the local conditions. This study aimed to develop a Korean-TRISS (K-TRISS) model suitable for the Korean population.

methodsWe analyzed data from adult patients with blunt trauma in the Korea Trauma Data Bank (KTDB) from January 2017 to December 2021. A new set of TRISS coefficients (K-TRISS-1) was derived from the study data using a logistic regression method. We compared the predictive ability of the K-TRISS-1 with the previous Major Trauma Outcome Study (MTOS) in 1987 and the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) model in 2009. The predictive power of the models was evaluated with the area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves, and the validity was evaluated with the C-statistic and bootstrap verification methods. Additionally, we enhanced the model construction (K-TRISS-2) by converting the age variable from a categorical format to a continuous one.

resultsOverall, 128,534 cases were included in the statistical analysis. The comparison of AUROC values indicated that K-TRISS-1 (0.9232) outperformed MTOS (0.9210) and NTDB (0.9190), with their 95% confidence intervals showing some tendency (0.9196-0.9267, 0.9200-0.9230, and 0.9180-0.9210, respectively). However, K-TRISS-2 (0.9336, 0.9305-0.9367) had a significantly higher AUROC value compared to those of the others and showed excellent predictive power in the C-statistic and bootstrap tests.

conclusionThis study proposes the K-TRISS model, derived from the KTDB, which does not significantly differ from the previous models in terms of predictive power. Furthermore, we were able to construct a model demonstrating improved predictive power when converting age to a continuous variable.
