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

Hybrid operating rooms have been increasingly adopted in trauma centers to enable integrated surgical and endovascular care in hemorrhagic emergencies, but practical guidance on their operational implementation from the interventional radiology perspective remains limited. We describe our experience implementing a trauma hybrid operating room at an American College of Surgeons-verified Level I trauma center, addressing room design, zoning for rapid transitions between laparotomy and angioembolization, a mobile supply cart, and a pre-embolization checklist. We outline a training approach centered on radiation safety, sterility during procedural transitions, and simulation-based interdisciplinary coordination and discuss key implementation challenges, local activation criteria, and strategies to ensure timely access. This report focuses on operational design; institutional process metrics and clinical outcomes were not included. However, these operational lessons may be relevant to other centers seeking to develop or refine trauma hybrid operating room programs.
