STUDY OF INJURIES EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN GEORGIA ON THE EXAMPLE OF ADJARA REGION.
Article in One health & risk management, 2023. 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
Introduction: Injury is a significant public health concern that is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Severe and long-term impairment are expected outcomes of traumatic injury. Injuries have a significant financial and quality-of-life impact on persons and communities. The absence of fundamental epidemiological data on the prevalence of injuries prevents developing countries from creating effective prevention programs. The goal of this study was to characterise the epidemiological features of injury in the Adjara region. Material and methods: The database and source of the data that we used in this article were provided from The Georgian National Center for Disease Control and Public Health's 2019 database. Which contains all hospitalizations in the Adjara area and was utilized to find instances of trauma that were treated at medical facilities. Based on the ICD-10 diagnosis codes S and T, as well as V-Y, cases were chosen. Version 23.0 of SPSS was used to analyze the data. Results: Between the ages of 0 and 103, there were a total of 2 239 patients who were hospitalized for treatment of an injury. Of those patients, 1 321 (59%) were males, and 918 (41%) were women. The incidence was highest among those aged 65 and over (n=510; 23%), followed by those aged 20-34 (n= 488; 20%). The most prevalent cause of injury was falling (n=1 324; 59%), followed by exposure to inanimate mechanical forces (n=244; 11%). The range of hospital stays was 1 to 3652 days, with a median and mode of 3 and 2 days. Conclusions: This study provides valuable information for public health decision-making; the results of our research offer background data on hospitalizations for traumatic injury; also, it is the first study of its kind in the Adjara region providing such type of information. In order to enhance the standard of treatment and focus efforts on avoiding more injuries, intervention strategies may be devised using our data to understand better the extent of the injuries and outcomes linked to traumatic injury hospitalizations.
