The potential impact of changing the Norwegian trauma Registry inclusion criteria for patients not admitted with trauma team activation: Identifying patient groups to be excluded and considering potential risks.

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
purposeOne of the inclusion criteria of the Norwegian Trauma Registry (NTR) is a New Injury Severity Score (NISS) > 12 for patients not admitted with trauma team activation (TTA). Based on registry data and clinical experience, patients with NISS of 13 or 14 who are not admitted with TTA often have low-energy falls as the primary injury mechanism. Identifying and registering these patients requires considerable effort. However, it is unknown what effects exclusion of patients with a NISS of 13 or 14 not admitted with TTA will have on the risk and safety of this group of trauma patients.
methodsRegistry data from a cohort of patients admitted to Norwegian trauma hospitals during 2017–2021 with NISS 13 or 14 who were not met with TTA (group 1) were compared to a cohort of patients with the same NISS scores met with TTA (group 2), and the total registry population, respectively (group 3).
resultsGroup 1 (n = 815) consisted mainly of elderly females (58%), with low-energy falls (73%). The group had a significantly higher proportion of injuries in the lower extremity (61%) and underwent fewer medical interventions than the two comparison groups. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATION: Increasing the criteria would result in the exclusion of a patient group mainly consisting of elderly women injured with low-energy trauma and hence it is out of the primary scope of a national trauma registry. Uncertainty exists regarding the male patients, who exhibit a higher proportion of injury mechanisms that may have warranted TTA.
