Current status of traumatic spinal cord injury caused by traffic accident in Northern China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The study aims to investigate the characteristics of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) caused by motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). The study included 649 cases who experienced MVC-induced TSCI. The mean age was 37.3 years old, ranging from 1 to 82 years old. The male-to-female ratio was 2.7:1. We extracted data of gender, age, occupation, neurological level of injury, fracture level, complications, vehicle type, accident type and other features. The results showed that the most common vehicles involved in accidents were passenger cars (65.1%). Collision was the leading cause of MVCs (35.8%). The lesion level was cervical in 51.6% and thoracic in 42.2%. The most common fracture levels in drivers and passengers were C3-C7, while those in pedestrians were T11-L2. The frequency of tetraplegia (51.6%) was slightly higher than paraplegia (48.4%), and cases with tetraplegia with incomplete injury accounted for 61.2%. MVC-induced TSCI has unique clinical features. Collision was the most common cause. People sitting in cars were more likely to suffer from cervical fractures, while thoracolumbar fractures were more common in pedestrians. Tetraplegic cases were mainly incomplete injuries, while paraplegic cases were mainly complete injuries.
