Healthcare and productivity costs among Canadian road trauma survivors over the year following injury.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Understanding the economic burden of road trauma (RT) can support healthcare and traffic policy. This prospective cohort study enrolled 1480 RT survivors in British Columbia, Canada. Healthcare and lost productivity costs were estimated in 2023 Canadian dollars. Productivity loss was measured at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months post-injury. Potential predictors included sociodemographic, psychological, medical, and trauma factors. Outcomes were analyzed with a generalized linear model and quantile regression. We found that average healthcare costs during the year following RT were $19,280 (median $3,791). Average lost productivity cost for people employed when injured was $4,390 (median $1,011). Older age, lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL), ≥ 2 comorbidities, Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 9, Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 13, and torso injury were significantly associated with higher healthcare costs. Employed participants had lower healthcare costs. Older age, being female, lower HRQoL, ≥ 2 comorbidities, ISS ≥ 9, spine/back and upper extremity injuries were significantly associated with higher lost productivity costs. These factors were more strongly associated with greater costs at the upper quantiles. This study highlights the economic burden of RT injuries and identifies factors associated with higher costs.
