Road crash dynamics in Malaysia: Analysis of trends and patterns.
Article in Heliyon, 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
Road crashes represent a significant public health and safety concern globally, and Malaysia is no exception. Understanding the trends and patterns of road crashes is essential for devising effective strategies to mitigate risks and enhance road safety. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of road crash dynamics, focusing on road users, severity patterns and geographical patterns in Malaysia from 2012 to 2022. Data sourced from the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) are utilized to examine various aspects of road crashes. Road crash trend, geographical patterns, linear trend analysis and K-means clustering are employed to explore patterns of road crash in Malaysia. The findings reveal that motorcycles consistently emerged as the most involved road user. Geographical patterns discovered that Selangor exhibits higher crash number. Linear trend analysis revealed significant upward trends in crash frequency prior to the pandemic, while the number of fatalities resulting from road crash showed a downward trend over the observed period. K-means clustering identified that Selangor recorded high total crashes and high total of fatalities. This study also considers the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on road crash dynamics, highlighting changes in travel patterns and behaviour. There also have been notable successes, such as the reduction in total fatalities and the effectiveness of targeted interventions via the accomplishments of initiatives of Malaysian Road Safety Plan 2014-2022.
