Injury Patterns in Vehicle Crashes: The Significance of Occupant Seating Position.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesInvestigating patterns among the outcomes of patients involved in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) can provide information necessary to guide targeted interventions to improve road traffic safety. Our purpose is to identify any differences between passenger and driver injury severity and overall clinical course after MVAs.
methodsWe performed a retrospective review and analysis of 3,693 patients involved in MVAs from 2016 to 2021. We divided the data into two groups, drivers and passengers, and compared the Injury Severity Score (ISS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS) on admission, days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), length of hospital stay (LOS), post Emergency Department (ED) disposition, discharge (DC) disposition, and signs of life on arrival (SOLA) to the ED. We compared mean ISS, New Injury Severity Score (NISS), RTS, length in ICU and LOS using a student's T-test and SOLA, post-ED and DC disposition using Chi-square analysis.
resultsWe did not find any statistically significant difference in ISS, RTS, days in ICU, LOS, or SOLA between the drivers and passengers. However, we did find a statistically significant difference in the post-ED (X
