Promoting health and safety in public transportation: A call to action for sub-Saharan Africa.
Article in African journal of primary health care & family medicine, 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
Road Traffic Incidents (RTIs) are a major public health concern worldwide, particularly in low-income to middle-income regions such as sub-Saharan Africa. Data from sub-Saharan Africa suggests that the public transport industry accounts for the majority of fatal crashes that contribute to the high mortality and morbidity associated with RTIs. In this viewpoint, we advocate for integrated and comprehensive evidence-based health and safety interventions to address the challenge of RTIs in the public transport industry in sub-Saharan Africa. We provide evidence on the magnitude of the problem drawing on the state of mortality and morbidity and reported challenges associated with RTIs in the minibus taxi industry in South Africa as this is the most common mode of public transport in the region.
