Clinical burden and predictors of hospitalization in extremity gunshot wounds: A single-center retrospective study.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the clinical characteristics, temporal admission patterns, and clinical outcomes of patients with extremity gunshot wounds (GSW) presenting to a tertiary care teaching and research hospital.
methodsA total of 123 patients presenting with GSWs affecting at least one extremity between January 2024 and December 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Injury characteristics, interventions, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Factors independently associated with hospital length of stay (LOS) and intensive care unit (ICU) admission were identified using negative binomial regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses, respectively.
resultsOf the patients, 116 (94.3%) were male, with a mean age of 29.9±11.9 years. The lower extremity was the most frequently affected region (69.1%), and 42 of 43 fractures (97.7%) were open fractures. The ICU admission rate was 26.0% (n=32), and in-hospital mortality was 4.1% (n=5). A total of 43.1% of admissions occurred between 18: 00 and 23: 59. In negative binomial regression, concomitant injury (incidence rate ratio [IRR]=6.93; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.82-12.57; p<0.001), fracture (IRR=5.02; 95% CI: 2.82-8.93; p<0.001), and reoperation (IRR=2.73; 95% CI: 1.44-5.16; p=0.002) were independently associated with length of hospital stay. In logistic regression, neurovascular injury (odds ratio [OR]=28.12; 95% CI: 7.60-104.09; p<0.001) and concomitant injury (OR=20.36; 95% CI: 5.62-73.81; p<0.001) independently predicted ICU admission.
conclusionExtremity GSWs predominantly affect young males and cluster during evening hours. Concomitant injury and fracture were independently associated with length of hospital stay, whereas reoperation was associated with prolonged hospitalization during the clinical course, while neurovascular injury and concomitant injury independently predict ICU admission.
