Sex, age, role and geographic differences in traumatic spinal fractures caused by motor vehicle collisions: a multicentre retrospective study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
To investigate the sex, age, role and geographic differences in traumatic spinal fractures (TSFs) caused by motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) in adults (≥ 18 years old). This was a multicentre retrospective observational study. In total, 798 patients with TSFs caused by MVCs admitted to our hospitals from January 2013 to December 2019 were enrolled. The patterns were summarized with respect to different sexes (male and female), age group (18-60 and ≥ 60), role (driver, passenger and pedestrian) and geographic location (Chongqing and Shenyang). Significant differences in distribution related to district (p = 0.018), role (p < 0.01), motorcycle (p = 0.011), battery electric vehicle (p = 0.045), bicycle (p = 0.027), coma after injury (p = 0.002), pelvic fracture (p = 0.021), craniocerebral injury (p = 0.008) and fracture location (p < 0.01) were observed between the male and female groups. Significant differences in distribution related to district (p < 0.01), role (p < 0.01), car (p = 0.013), coma after injury (p = 0.003), lower limb fracture (p = 0.016), fracture location (p = 0.001) and spinal cord injury (p < 0.01) were observed between the young adult and elderly groups. Significant differences in distribution related to sex ratio (p < 0.01), age (p < 0.01), district (p < 0.01), most vehicles involved (P < 0.01), lower limb fracture (p < 0.01), pelvic fracture (p < 0.01), fracture location (p < 0.01), complications (p < 0.01), and spinal cord injury (p < 0.01) were observed between the three different groups of pedestrian, passenger, and driver. Significant differences in distribution related to sex ratio (p = 0.018), age (p < 0.01), role (p < 0.01), most vehicles involved (p < 0.01), coma after injury (p = 0.030), LLF (P = 0.002), pelvic fracture (p < 0.01), craniocerebral injury (p = 0.011), intrathoracic injury (p < 0.01), intra-abdominal injury (p < 0.01), complications (p = 0.033) and spinal cord injury (p < 0.01) were observed between the Chongqing and Shenyang groups. This study demonstrates the age-, gender-, role- and geographic-specific clinical characteristics of TSFs resulting from MVCs and reveals a significant relationship between different ages, sexes, roles, geographic locations and associated injuries, complications and spinal cord injuries.
