Shock indices as predictors in blunt trauma patients in the emergency department.
Article in Biomarkers in medicine, 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
aimsTo evaluate the effectiveness of Shock Index (SI), Modified Shock Index (MSI), and Age Shock Index (Age SI) in predicting blood transfusion need, surgical intervention, hospital outcomes, and injury severity in blunt trauma patients.
methodsThis retrospective study included 267 adult patients admitted with blunt trauma to the emergency department of a tertiary university hospital between 1 December 2018, and 1 December 2019. Patients with isolated hand/foot trauma, isolated traumatic brain injury, isolated spinal injuries, or minor trauma (AIS ≤2) were excluded. SI, MSI, and Age SI were calculated and analyzed.
resultsSI (
conclusionSI, MSI, and Age SI can predict early blood transfusion and mortality in blunt trauma patients. SI and MSI appear more reliable than Age SI, particularly in predicting transfusion need and injury severity.
