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
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Trauma and Injury Severity Scores (TRISS) and Madras Head Injury Prognostic Scale (MHIPS) in assessing the prognosis of head trauma patients in the emergency department. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical (predictive) study, 140 head trauma patients admitted to the emergency department of Shahid Beheshti Hospital (Sabzevar, Iran), were included from January to November 2023. Participants were selected via convenience sampling method and based on the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the TRISS, and the MHIPS scale, and analyzed using Stata software (version 17). Results: The mean age of the injured patients was 39.72±19.86 years, and 102 (73%) patients were male. For intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization prediction, the MHIPS tool showed a sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 86%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 60%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 98%. For mortality prediction, the MHIPS tool had a sensitivity of 89%, specificity of 86%, PPV of 27%, and NPV of 99% in predicting death. The TRISS tool demonstrated a sensitivity of 81%, a specificity of 96%, a PPV of 81%, and an NPV of 95% for ICU hospitalization, and a sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 87%, PPV of 26%, and NPV of 98% for mortality. No significant difference was observed between TRISS and MHIPS in predicting the probability of ICU admission and mortality ( Conclusion: Both TRISS and MHIPS demonstrated satisfactory predictive value for head trauma outcomes, with neither tool being superior to the other.
