Quantification of the demand of major trauma on different specialities.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
backgroundCork University Hospital (CUH) is the designated Major Trauma Centre for the South Trauma Network in Ireland.
aimsTo quantify the demands of major trauma patients on particular specialities during early in-hospital care in Cork University Hospital.
methodsData was extracted from the TARN database on patients admitted to Cork University Hospital with an injury severity score greater than 15 over a two-year period. Data was analysed to establish the frequency and urgency of operative procedures.
results447 patients with an injury severity score greater than 15 were admitted to Cork University Hospital between 1st July 2018 and 30th June 2020. Of these, 40.3% (n = 180) required an operative procedure with 7.4% (n = 33) requiring more than one procedure and 4% (n = 18) requiring a procedure from more than one specialty. There were 226 operative procedures performed of which 18.1% (n = 41) were performed within 4 h (urgently). Neurosurgery (36.7%, n = 83) and Orthopaedics (35%, n = 79) were the two specialties required most frequently. Neurosurgery (78%, n = 32) were required most frequently for urgent procedures.
conclusionsThere is notable variation in the demands placed on different specialities in the management of major trauma patients at Cork University Hospital which may have implications on the planning of a major trauma centre for the south of Ireland.
