Emergency care for avalanche buried patients - a narrative review.
Review in Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Avalanches claim the lives of around 160 winter recreationists and workers in hazardous snow-covered mountain regions worldwide. These fatalities result from asphyxia, trauma, and hypothermia. Survival for critically buried subjects relies on the speed of extrication, absence of trauma, presence of a patent airway and air pocket, immediate field treatment, and rapid transport to the most appropriate hospital by organized search and rescue (SAR) and emergency medical services (EMS). Survival may be improved with helicopter EMS, advancements in safety and rescue equipment technology, early deployment of professional SAR teams with checklists and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and the use of drones. Prehospital and in-hospital care of an avalanche accident requires medical, technical, logistical, and organizational competencies.This narrative review of historic and updated survival curves, professional society guidelines, and snow burial studies, discusses the best practices for prehospital care, triage, transport, and in-hospital management of avalanche patients.
