Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Road traffic accidents are a major global health concern, accounting for 1.35 million fatalities and countless impairments every year. The number of road traffic accidents in Nepal is rising, which has a significant effect on the country's economy and healthcare system. Over a period of five years, the study aimed to analyze the clinico-demographic characteristics of patients admitted for injuries due to road traffic accidents in the National Trauma Center of Nepal. Methods: This is an observational study conducted by reviewing a five-year admission data from 2018 to 2023 A.D. of a tertiary care trauma center. The study was conducted following approval from the Ethical Review Board of Nepal Health Research Council (Reference number: 969). All patients admitted to the trauma centre following injuries due to road traffic accidents were included in the study. The results were summarised using descriptive statistics. Results: Out of 20,843 admissions, 3,810 (18.28%) were due to RTAs. The male-to-female ratio was 4.44:1, with a median age of 31.00 (24.00 to 43.00) years. Age distribution was as follows: <18 years (6.75%), 18-39 years (62.13%), 40-59 years (23.62%), and ≥60 years (7.50%). The median hospital stay was 8.00 (3 to 16) days. The most common injuries were lower limb 2386 (62.62%), upper limb 958 (25.14%), and head injuries 890 (23.36%). The mortality rate was 72 (1.89%). Conclusions: Injuries due to road traffic accidents constitute a significant portion of admissions at the National Trauma Center in Nepal, predominantly affecting young males. Lower limb injuries were most common.
