Influence of on-scene time and prehospital interventions on inhospital mortality in trauma patients.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the impact of the type and number of prehospital interventions, in addition to prehospital time intervals, on inhospital mortality among trauma patients.
methodsAccording to a 13-year prospective trauma registry, three prehospital time intervals of response time, on-scene time, and transport time were assessed. Prehospital interventions were classified into four categories: stop bleeding strategies, immobilization, basic airway management, and advanced resuscitation.
resultsA total of 13,533 patients were included. Relative to patients not receiving prehospital interventions, there was longer on-scene time for those who received immobilization (10.4 vs. 8.68 min), basic airway management (11.4 vs. 9.40 min), and advanced resuscitation (12.6 vs. 9.53 min). Furthermore, relative to patients who survived in hospital, those who died significantly had longer on-scene time (11.4 vs. 9.64 min) and sustained immobilization (74.7% vs. 52.5%), basic airway management (30.7% vs. 7.6%), advanced resuscitation (32.0% vs. 0.1%), and ≥ 4 prehospital interventions (30.4% vs. 4.6%). Results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis shows that without adjustment for type and number of prehospital interventions, longer on-scene time (odds ratio [OR] = 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.04) were significantly associated with increased mortality; however, after additional adjustment for type and number of prehospital interventions, no significant association between each of the three prehospital time intervals and mortality was detected. Furthermore, compared to patients who did not receive prehospital interventions, those who received wound packing/compression had a significantly lower risk of mortality (OR = 0.54; 95% CI, 0.36-0.80), whereas those who received basic airway management (OR = 1.73; 95% CI, 1.15-2.60), advanced resuscitation (OR = 33.4; 95% CI, 14.9-75.0), and three (OR = 2.60; 95% CI, 1.01-6.93) and ≥ 4 (OR = 2.97; 95% CI, 1.01-9.63) prehospital interventions had a significantly higher risk of mortality.
conclusionsThere exists a tradeoff between prehospital trauma interventions and shortening on-scene time for mortality risk; however, implementing some interventions for hemorrhage control and hemostatic resuscitation can benefit the survival of trauma patients the most.
