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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMicromobility devices like e-scooters have become popular for short trips. Providence, Rhode Island, introduced these devices in 2018. We examine non-fatal injury trends and ED care costs for micromobility-related injuries in Rhode Island (RI) from 2016 to 2021.

methodsData were obtained from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) and the RI State ED Databases (SEDD). Using ICD-10 codes, we identified micromobility-related injuries. The analysis spanned two waves: pre-implementation (2016-2018) and post- implementation (2019-2021). Poisson regression was performed on age-adjusted rates of micromobility injuries to evaluate change over time.

resultsFrom 2016 to 2021, micromobility-related ED visits rose 600%. Bicycle injuries decreased by 20%, while pedestrian and motor vehicle injuries increased by 9% and 13%, respectively.

conclusionThe dramatic rise in micromobility- related injuries reflects their growing usage and the associated risks. Micromobility offers benefits and challenges for cities. Safety measures are crucial for their safe, sustainable use.
