Geospatial and econometric approaches or older driver safety: Analysis of crash injury severity of regional highways.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
This study tried to focus on the older drivers' group and explore the impact factors of injury severity involving older drivers from geo-spatial analysis. To reach the goal, a spatial analysis was proposed employing geographic information systems (GIS) with a case study application to two counties in Nevada. First, crash clusters were explored using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) approach to investigate the spatial crash pattern for older drivers, and determine high risk locations of injury severity. Next, Bayesian spatial binary probit model was presented in order to determine the significant impact factors of injury severity involving older drivers. It was found that at-fault driver condition and vehicle condition, not-at-fault vehicle action and road factors were significant factors for injury severity of older drivers. Results revealed that DBSCAN provides a solid option for hotspot identification of injury severity and Bayesian spatial binary probit model addresses the factor determinants spatially. The GIS-based spatial analysis can benefit more reliable older driver-concentrated evaluation and injury severity analysis.
