Spatial Distribution of Road Traffic Accident at Hawassa City Administration, Ethiopia.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundGlobally, road traffic accidents (RTAs) are the leading killer of young people and are projected to be the 7
methodSecondary data on daily traffic accident record from October 2013 to June 2018 was obtained from Hawassa city administration police department. The spatial clustering and hotspots identification were carried through Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi* statistics. Data analysis was conducted using GeoDa 1.16.0.0 and ArcGIS 10.2 softwares.
resultsDrivers within age group of 18-30 years, who were hired by private business owners and who had no driving license committed the highest number of traffic accidents. The majority of traffic accidents were caused due to careless driving, failure to give priority for pedestrian, high speed and driver failure to give priority for each other. In addition, about 82.01% of traffic accidents were recorded on asphalts road and 11.51% by gravel road. Spatial clustering of road traffic accidents for accidents occurred on gravel road and in sunny weather conditions found to be significant. Different hotspot areas were identified for gravel type of road and sunny weather condition.
conclusionThe concerned government bodies involved in policymaking are recommended to give special attention to young driver who were hired by private business owners. Interventions to mitigate the occurrence of traffic accident would take in to account the identified hotspot areas.
