Investigating the Association between Orthopedic Fractures and Head Injury due to Road Traffic Accidents.
Article in Applied bionics and biomechanics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundTraumatic head injury (THI) due to road traffic accidents (RTAs) is a global health problem. Studies exploring the association between RTA-related THI and concurrent orthopedic fractures are lacking. We aim to provide a detailed analysis of this association and its impact on inhospital outcomes.
methodsRetrospective analysis of RTA-related THI associated with orthopedic fractures admitted to a large tertiary center, Southwest, Saudi Arabia, over ten years. Descriptive statistics for participant demographics and clinical outcomes were represented by percentages. The associations between head injury diagnosis or orthopedic fractures region and patient demographics are analyzed using the Chi-square test. Post hoc analysis for the significant Chi-square values was carried out by calculating the significant adjusted residuals. Adjust
resultsConcurrent orthopedic fractures are present in one-tenth of RTA-related THI. The cohort was dominated by young males, with 46.5% of the population between 18 and 29 years old. There was a significant association between the head injury diagnosis and the region of orthopedic fracture (
conclusionOrthopedic fractures concomitant with RTA-related THI are common. The associations between the two injuries tend to happen in specific patterns. The inhospital stay duration and mortality significantly correlated with the site of the head or orthopedic injury. Knowledge of these patterns improves the care of THI victims, triaging, and resource allocations.
