1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The treatment of polytraumatized patients is challenging. Intensive efforts and interdisciplinary teamwork have improved survival rates of severely injured patients over the last decades. High quality guideline recommendations focusing on the prehospital setting, emergency room management and also the initial surgical phase have been published and are frequently updated. The current manuscript is part of new guidelines on an S3 level that focuses on treatment of polytraumatized patients who were transferred to the intensive care unit after initial emergency treatment. These patients have special needs, especially with respect to monitoring, pain management, ventilation strategy, nutrition etc. and most often require definitive surgical stabilization of injuries to the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. This article summarizes the current literature and gives recommendations with respect to early definitive treatment of patients with multiple trauma and particularly with a view to the best possible timing of the definitive treatment.
