Issues that arise in the assessment of pedestrian deaths.
Article in Forensic science, medicine, and pathology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Road traffic crashes are responsible for the deaths of 1.35 million people annually around the globe, and pedestrian fatalities account for 23% of these cases. Issues that arise in assessing these deaths involve evaluation of the type of impact, the type and speed of the vehicle, the behavior of the pedestrian and the extent of the injuries. The types of injuries encountered at autopsy vary with age and body habitus. The forensic pathologist's role is to document injuries and to determine if and how they may have been caused by a particular vehicle(s). Patterned injuries may have been caused by impact with components of the vehicle chassis or from being run over by tires. Determining the manner of death may sometimes be problematic and suicides and homicides may be confused with accidents. The following commentary explores and discusses issues that arise in the assessment of these cases.
