[Management and outcome of patients with stab injuries treated at a German level I trauma center : A retrospective analysis over a 3-year period].

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
backgroundStab wounds inflicted by a third party represent an increasingly relevant form of penetrating trauma in Germany, gaining attention both in the public sphere and in clinical emergency care.
objectiveThis retrospective study investigated the incidence, injury severity, anatomical distribution, and clinical outcomes of stab wound cases treated at a German level I trauma center over a 3-year period. MATERIAL AND
methodsAll patients presenting with stab injuries to the inner city emergency department of LMU University Hospital between September 2021 and August 2024 were included. A structured analysis of demographic data, injury characteristics, therapeutic interventions and clinical outcomes was conducted.
resultsA total of 48 cases were identified (47 male, 1 female; mean age 36.6 years, median 27 years). The most frequently affected anatomical regions were the upper extremities (25%) and thorax (20.3%). Hospital admission was required in 41.7% of cases, 14.6% sustained major trauma (abbreviated injury scale, AIS ≥ 3) and 1 patient died. DISCUSSION: Stab wounds continue to pose a rare yet clinically significant challenge. The findings underline the necessity for structured interdisciplinary management and targeted emergency preparedness protocols in trauma systems.
