A novel forward-deployed damage control orthopedics: Battlefield Monitoring and Stabilization (BMS).
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 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
Delayed evacuation creates a critical gap between point-of-injury care and definitive surgical management in battlefield trauma. Although Damage Control Orthopedics (DCO) is an established strategy for physiologically unstable trauma patients, it is usually implemented after evacuation and depends on higher-level medical support. We propose Battlefield Monitoring and Stabilization (BMS) as a forward-deployed conceptual framework for earlier battlefield care. BMS emphasizes temporary stabilization, hemorrhage-oriented intervention, basic physiological support, and portable monitoring before evacuation and definitive treatment. Proposed applications include point-of-injury stabilization, prolonged field care, and en-route casualty management. Several enabling components, including a rapidly assembled pelvic stabilization device, are under development. Relevant evaluation domains include fixation speed, hemostatic performance, monitoring accuracy, portability, and environmental adaptability. Further validation is warranted.
