Rapid Response to Traumatic Vascular Injury: An Institutional Code Angio Protocol.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 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
Traumatic vascular injuries are a major cause of death and disability, especially in those under 45. Vascular and interventional radiology (VIR) has transformed management, offering minimally invasive options. This paper examines the implementation of a Code Angio protocol at a level I trauma center to expedite response times for such injuries by VIR. Initiated in August 2014 at University Hospital in San Antonio, Code Angio uses automated alerts to simultaneously notify a multidisciplinary team-including VIR, trauma surgery, anesthesia, and operating room staff-when trauma patients meet vascular injury criteria. After implementation, Code Angio response times decreased, and the need for urgent laparotomies for hemorrhage control was reduced. From 2019 to 2024, 1,447 cases were recorded, with Code Angio facilitating rapid VIR team activation, mostly within 60 minutes. The survival rate for Code Angio patients was higher than with surgery alone. Subgroup analysis showed Code Angio's routine use in specific injuries, helping reduce invasive surgeries and optimizing resource use. Rapid response VIR protocols like Code Angio improve patient outcomes, resource use, and healthcare efficiency. Future efforts will focus on better integration with trauma guidelines, identifying workflow delays, and continuous protocol refinement for seamless coordination.
