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

Objectives: This study aimed to systematically review and quantify the association between D-dimer levels and injury outcomes in trauma patients through a meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic literature search of PubMed, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Web of Science was conducted from 2011 to 2023, supplemented by manual reference list searches. Two independent reviewers assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The primary outcomes were mortality and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Results: Of 84 identified articles, 17 were eligible for full-text assessment, and 12 were included in the final analysis. A random-effects model was used to pool the study results. The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in mean D-dimer levels between patients with poor outcomes and those without poor outcomes ( Conclusion: This meta-analysis indicated that elevated D-dimer levels upon admission could be a valuable prognostic marker in trauma patients and might help predict poor outcomes.
