Global Burden of Disease disability weights for the US National Electronic Injury Surveillance System - All Injury Program.
Article in Injury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention, 2026. 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
backgroundMeasuring the impact of non-fatal injuries and violence is essential for informed public health policy-making and communications. This study aimed to generate new health-related quality of life data for a prominent US non-fatal injury surveillance source using disability weights derived from general population survey estimates.
methodsDisability weights reflecting severity as measured on a 0 (no disability) to 1 (death) scale, for 47 natures of injury from the Global Burden of Diseases, Risk Factors and Injuries Study (GBD) were mapped to 492 injury types in the US National Electronic Injury Surveillance System - All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP). The matching of GBD natures of injury to NEISS-AIP injury types was based on the underlying definitions for each injury diagnosis.
resultsThe average disability value weighted by incidence for all NEISS-AIP types was 0.073 (95% uncertainty interval: 0.050-0.097), and the range by injured body part and diagnosis was 0.006-0.408. Injuries that impacted large or critical body parts (lower trunk, upper trunk, head and neck) had the highest disability weights. Internal injuries, crushing, burns, nerve damage and fractures had higher disability weight values than lacerations, avulsions and contusions. The three most common NEISS-AIP non-fatal injury types during 2015-2020 were poisoning, internal injuries of the head and face lacerations, with disability weights of 0.163 (0.109-0.227), 0.168 (0.112-0.232) and 0.018 (0.010-0.029), respectively.
conclusionsMapping of publicly available disability weights data to a prominent non-fatal injury surveillance source can improve opportunities to measure and communicate the health and economic impact of injuries and violence.
