Prehospital times and outcomes for hypotensive trauma patients in Sweden.
Article 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 influence of EMS transport time on trauma patient survival has previously been examined. Studies have shown conflicting results, and some studies have been unable to prove any association between prehospital times and outcomes for trauma patients. In the context of Swedish trauma systems, the impact of prehospital time remains unclear.
aimThe aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between prehospital time and outcomes for hypotensive trauma patients in Sweden.
methodsA total of 3,740 hypotensive trauma patients treated during the years 2013-2022 were identified through the Swedish Trauma Registry (SweTrau). The study included both ground ambulance patients and helicopter emergency medical services patients. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyse the correlation between total prehospital time and mortality while controlling for confounding factors. The primary study endpoint of this study was 30-day mortality after the initial traumatic event.
resultsAfter adjusting for potentially confounding factors, including RTS, NISS, patient age, sex, and methods of injury, a longer total prehospital time was found to be associated with increased odds of mortality in the study population. In the present study, a one-minute increase in total prehospital time was found to have an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 1.005 for mortality (95% CI 1.000-1.009; P = 0.046) for undifferentiated hypotensive trauma patients.
conclusionIn this nationwide study aimed at investigating the correlation between prehospital time and survival among hypotensive trauma patients in Sweden, a longer total prehospital time was found to be associated with increased odds of mortality for undifferentiated hypotensive trauma patients, with the odds of mortality increasing by 5.1% per 10-min increase in total prehospital time.
