Targeted prevention of road traffic deaths in Greece: a multifactorial 5-year census-based study.
Review in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2021. 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
backgroundBetween 2012 and 2016, Greece suffered yearly more than 800 deaths from road traffic incidents (RTIs), holding one of the worst performances in the European Union for RTI-related deaths per population. Our primary aim is to identify risk factors associated with mortality to set a targeted policy framework on road safety.
methodsThis is a retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively from Traffic Police. A correlation of 29 factors with adult drivers' mortality was made, applying multivariate logistic regression models. At a second stage, a scoping literature review identified the best possible targeted prevention measures.
resultsA total of 93,019 drivers with a mean age of 42.2 ± 0.1 years were recorded, of which 2772 (3%) died. Age above 65 (aOR 3.1, p < 0.001), non-use of seatbelt (aOR 8.2, p < 0.001) or helmet (aOR 2.85, p < 0.001) and alcohol consumption (aOR 3.3 for cars, 4 for motorbikes, p < 0.001) were the driver-related parameters with the strongest correlation with a fatal outcome. Drivers' behavior with specific high-risk maneuvers increased odds of death 2-4 times, depending on vehicle type. One-lane, rural road network was the environmental factor with the most significant impact. Based on the results of the analyses, our scoping review identified and suggested 23 specific measures for the Greek government and policymakers to examine.
conclusionHuman-related factors were the parameters with the strongest impact on mortality after an RTI in Greece. These findings demonstrate an educational gap that must be primarily addressed with the introduction of missing road safety education in schools and an intensified and innovative population awareness campaign.
