Second downward trend in global road traffic deaths.
Article in Injury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention, 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
objectiveTo describe the characteristics of a second downward trend in the rate of global road traffic deaths, measured by the number of road traffic deaths per 100 000 population.
methodsA smoothing function was fitted to scatter plot distributions of road traffic deaths per 100 000 population for each of the 16 countries that had revealed a second downward trend to determine the types of patterns in the declining rate of road traffic fatalities.
resultsA second wave of a downward trend in the rate of road traffic deaths has been detected in 16 countries in the period 1990-2021. The first wave of a downward trend in road traffic deaths occurred in the 1970s in Western Europe, the USA and Australia.
conclusionsA shift has occurred in the upward trend in the rate of road traffic deaths in 16 countries. This shift or bend represents a second wave in the downward trend in the rate of global road traffic deaths.
