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

Head trauma accompanied by circulatory failure is a rare but severe condition, and few reports regarding its prognosis or initial treatment strategies have been published. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors and treatment strategies for patients with head trauma and vital signs of shock. We included 415 consecutive patients with head trauma (Abbreviated Injury Scale [AIS] score ≥3) who were transported to our institution from January 2017 to December 2023. These patients were divided into shock and non-shock groups. Data on their background, vital signs at presentation, trunk injury status, surgical intervention, and hematological findings were examined. A retrospective analysis was conducted with the modified Rankin Scale score after 3 months as the primary outcome. The patients' mean age was 53.9 ± 24.4 years, 304 (73.3%) were male, 265 (63.9%) experienced severe trauma (injury severity score ≥16), 124 (29.9%) had multiple trauma (AIS score ≥3 at two or more locations), and 59 (14.2%) had accompanying vital signs of shock (shock index >1). Multivariable analysis revealed that older age (
