1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

introductionWhile the negative effects of drunk driving, including road traffic injuries (RTIs) have been well documented in high-income countries, little has been reported in African countries like Cameroon. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of alcohol-related RTIs (ARRTIs), its associated factors, and its association with injury severity.

methodsThe Cameroon Trauma Registry prospectively collects trauma data from 10 hospitals in Cameroon. This study included patients enrolled between June 2022 and May 2023 for acute RTIs. We assessed the frequency of binge drinking episodes in the past year and self-reported alcohol consumption 6 h before RTI. Bivariate analysis using chi-squared or Fisher's exact test was used to test for associations between ARRTIs and independent variables. Multivariate logistic regression was performed with variables with a P value < 0.05.

resultsA total of 3761 RTI cases were recorded with 77.5% (n = 2909) males and a median age of 32 y (IQR = 20 y). Prevalence of ARRTI was 9.01% (n = 338). Any self-reported binge drinking episodes (less than monthly adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.39-7.25; monthly AOR = 5.47, 95% CI = 3.66-8.11; weekly AOR = 6.55, 95% CI = 4.63-9.27; or daily AOR = 11.15, 95% CI = 7.52-16.52) was significantly associated with ARRTI compared to none reported. Male gender, higher educational status, tobacco use, depression, and means of transportation were other associated factors.

conclusionsAlmost one in 10 patients had consumed alcohol 6 h prior to RTI with odds of ARRTI significantly increasing with increased frequency in binge drinking. There is a need for evidenced-based, integrated approaches targeting sociodemographic and behavioral factors toward prevention of ARRTIs in Cameroon.
