Vulnerability of the border area: analysis of the Traffic Accident Analysis System in Korea.
Article in Journal of trauma and injury, 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
purposeThis study assessed patient vulnerability following traffic accidents (TAs) in Korea's border area (BA).
methodsThe BA includes cities and counties directly adjacent to the demilitarized zone with North Korea. The rear area (RA) is defined as the area immediately adjacent to the BA. TA data from 2017 to 2021 were obtained from the Traffic Accident Analysis System in Korea. Information on road length, population, number of TAs, injured patients, and fatalities was collected. The number of TAs and fatalities per 1 km of road length and per 100,000 people was calculated. Severity (number of fatalities per 100 TA cases) and lethality (number of fatalities divided by the sum of fatalities and injured patients) were used to assess the vulnerability of each area.
resultsA total of 55,463 TAs were analyzed. Although the RA exhibited higher numbers of TAs and deceased patients per 1 km of road length and per 100,000 people, the BA showed significantly higher fatalities per 100,000 people as well as increased severity and lethality.
conclusionsThe BA is more likely to be associated with death following TAs, despite a lower overall TA incidence compared to the RA. Further analysis is needed to address and mitigate this vulnerability.
