1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo quantify and describe the different medical specialty staffing models utilised by inpatient trauma services in Major Trauma Centres in Australia and New Zealand.

methodsA standardised telephone survey of all Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) in Australia and New Zealand was conducted between May and August 2024.

results16/27 (67%) of MTC's in Australia utilise multi-specialty staffing models for their inpatient trauma service. Two of the seven (29%) MTC's in New Zealand utilise a multi-specialty staffing model.

conclusionsThis study presents the results of a survey of all adult and paediatric major trauma centres in Australia and New Zealand. It quantifies and describes medical specialist staffing models of inpatient major trauma services. Two-thirds of MTC's in Australia and almost one-third of MTC's in New Zealand utilise multi-specialty medical specialist staffing models for their inpatient trauma services. The range of non-surgical specialties employed in these roles includes Emergency Physicians (FACEM), Anaesthetists (FANZCA) and Intensivists (FCICM). Of those services that utilise a multi-specialty model, there is wide variation in the number and mix of specialties involved, as well as in the structure and function of the admitting services.
