Characteristics and trends of pediatric trauma on Jeju Island, Korea: a community-level serial cross-sectional study.
Article in Clinical and experimental emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the characteristics and epidemiological trends of pediatric injuries among patients visiting emergency departments on Jeju Island, Korea.
methodsUsing a community-level serial cross-sectional analysis, we targeted pediatric patients 18 years or younger who visited emergency departments for injuries over a 10-year period. A comprehensive examination of injury characteristics and epidemiological trends was performed using the data sourced from the Jeju Injury Surveillance System. This included an evaluation of the annual incidence and overall trends in pediatric injury cases.
resultsThe study found toddlers (42.5% of cases) to be the most frequently injured age group. Male patients were more prone to injuries, with a male to female ratio of 1.7:1. Injuries among visitors accounted for 17.3% of cases, with a seasonal spike in summer, evenings, and weekends. Most incidents occurred at home, were predominantly accidental in nature, with adolescents more likely to require emergency medical system services. The common mechanisms of injuries were blunt force (49.2%), slips/falls (22.0%), and motor vehicle collisions (13.2%), leading to bruises, cuts, and sprains. Over the decade, a general increase in pediatric injuries was observed. Accidental injuries initially surged but later stabilized; however, self-harm/suicide and assault/ violence injuries showed a concerning upward trend. Age-specific analysis revealed increasing trends in infants and adolescents.
conclusionThe result of the present study underscore the crucial need for targeted injury prevention and resource allocation strategies, particularly for high-risk groups and time of injury, to effectively mitigate pediatric trauma on Jeju Island.
