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

objectiveThis retrospective study aimed to analyse the pattern and trend of fatal and non-fatal injuries among children under five in Mongolia from 2018 to 2022, using hospital-based national injury surveillance data to inform targeted public health interventions.

methodsData from 101,731 injury cases were analysed from the National Trauma and Orthopaedic Research Center's surveillance system. Injury incidence and mortality rates were calculated based on demographic characteristics and geographic distributions.

resultsFrom 2018 to 2022, 101,731 children under five sustained injuries in Mongolia, with most occurring at home (78.9%) and in Ulaanbaatar (87.6%). Boys accounted for 55.7%. Ulaanbaatar had the highest non-fatal injury incidence rate (1003 per 100,000), primarily from falls (45.8%), burns (16.5%) and mechanical forces. Non-fatal injuries increased annually in Ulaanbaatar, especially among boys (6.6%) and girls (9.9%). Children aged 1-4 years and boys were at higher risk, with injuries more frequent in summer and at home. Fatal injuries (n = 715) were mostly due to suffocation (34.7%), traffic (20.7%) and drowning (13.7%). Ulaanbaatar saw a significant decrease in fatality rates (14.9% annually for boys), while traffic-related deaths rose in girls in provinces (18.6%). Mortality rates were higher among infants aged 0-11 months.

conclusionThere is an increase in non-fatal injuries among children under 5 years of age in Mongolia, particularly in Ulaanbaatar, despite a declining trend in fatal injury rates. Injury rates also vary significantly across rural provinces, highlighting the need for geographically tailored policy interventions.
