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
backgroundThe Swedish population is aging, and elderly individuals are more likely to sustain injuries from low-energy mechanisms of injury. Trauma has traditionally been a disease of the young, but elderly patients now account for the majority of deaths from external causes in Sweden. No recent studies have examined whether this demographic shift has translated into a higher rate of low-energy mechanisms of injury in the trauma population.
aimTo investigate temporal trends in the proportion of low-energy mechanisms of injury at the regional trauma center in Stockholm during 2014-2023.
methods13188 patients treated at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna were obtained from the Swedish Trauma Registry. The annual proportion of patients with a low-energy mechanism of injury was calculated, and the temporal trends were assessed using weighted linear regression models. Two subgroups were also defined to separately analyze primary transports and patients with a blunt mechanism of injury.
resultsThe overall proportion of low-energy mechanisms in the cohort was 15% (n = 1978). No statistically significant temporal trends were observed in the study cohort (R
conclusionThere were no significant temporal trends in the rate of low-energy mechanisms of injury in patients treated at the regional trauma center during 2014-2023. Whether these findings are representative of the wider regional trauma cohort is uncertain.
