Blunt abdominal trauma: a retrospective study on clinical insights and treatment outcomes.
Article in Journal of trauma and injury, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeBlunt abdominal trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, predominantly affecting younger male patients. Therefore, a study examining the mechanisms of injury, injury patterns, and outcomes in these cases is essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate demographics, injury mechanisms, treatments provided, and outcomes in cases of blunt abdominal trauma at a level I trauma center in Eastern India.
methodsA descriptive retrospective study was conducted at a level I trauma center using departmental audit data spanning 18 months (July 2022-December 2023). Data from 118 patients diagnosed with blunt abdominal trauma were analyzed.
resultsThe study revealed a pronounced male predominance (6.35:1), with a mean age of 30.2 years. Road traffic accidents were the most frequent cause of injury (56.8%). Only six patients (5.1%) presented within the "golden hour," resulting in delayed interventions. Surgical intervention was necessary in 78 cases (66.1%), with hollow viscus perforation being the most common indication. The mean hospital stay was 10.6 days, and the overall mortality rate was 12.7%. The presence of shock upon admission significantly correlated with mortality (P<0.001).
conclusionsBlunt abdominal trauma continues to represent a critical healthcare challenge, particularly affecting younger males. Improved healthcare accessibility, adherence to Advanced Trauma Life Support protocols, and timely interventions could improve survival rates.
