Prehospital emergency response in a partial hand amputation with ulnar artery transection: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Introduction: Approximately 50% of preventable trauma fatalities are associated with a lack of hemorrhage control and occur in the prehospital environment. The application and efficacy of traditional hemostatic techniques, such as tourniquets, gauze packing, and impregnated dressings, are frequently limited by factors including pain, risk of ischemia, wound configuration, and challenges associated with removal at definitive care. Case report: We report the prehospital application of a hemostatic flowable biopolymer, Traumagel, in a 46-year-old male presenting with a partial hand amputation and complete transection of the ulnar artery. Following tourniquet application and initial hemostasis, Traumagel was deployed, permitting the safe release of the tourniquet, restoration of distal perfusion, and significant pain relief during a prolonged evacuation. The gel was removed in the operating room, and the arterial and metacarpal repairs were completed without complications or tissue loss. Discussion and conclusion: This case exemplifies the seamless integration of hemostatic agents in conjunction with a tourniquet for the management of moderate-to-severe hemorrhage in a remote trauma environment. This prompt and comprehensive intervention for hemorrhage control in a remote location was crucial to an excellent patient outcome.
