Adopting common data elements for the National Trauma Research Repository: the results of a prehospital Delphi survey.
Article in Trauma surgery & acute care open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: To support the development of the National Trauma Research Repository (NTRR), a multidisciplinary workgroup focused on prehospital trauma care used a consensus-driven approach to review established data elements and recommend basic common data elements (CDEs) for inclusion in the NTRR data dictionary. Methods: A 13-member workgroup of military and civilian trauma researchers and data scientists located and reviewed databases, codebooks, data collection forms, and published articles for data elements relevant to prehospital trauma care. Identified data elements were reviewed in a three-round Delphi survey and during monthly workgroup meetings. Consensus during the Delphi survey was determined with an 80% agreement threshold. Results: Twenty-one sources were reviewed for prehospital data elements. Following three rounds and workgroup discussions, 52 elements (84%) reached consensus for inclusion, two elements (3%) were excluded, and eight elements (13%) did not reach consensus. Discussion: The Delphi process proved effective in achieving expert consensus on basic CDEs for prehospital trauma care research. The resulting standardized basic CDEs will improve data harmonization and support consistent data collection in the NTRR. These CDEs represent an initial framework and serve as a foundational starting point for prehospital data collection within the NTRR. As researchers use the NTRR, the list of CDEs will grow and evolve to meet the needs of the trauma research community.
