Coupling analysis of risk factors in road cargo transport accidents and preventive measures with an N-K model.
Article in PloS one, 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
Road cargo transport accidents have been rising in China, posing threats to economic stability and public safety. This study identifies key risk factors in road freight accidents by analysing 160 accident investigation reports and employs a combined N-K model and complex-network approach to evaluate coupling effects among factors. Twenty-seven specific risk factors were classified under individual, vehicle, environment and management domains. Multi-factor coupling (e.g. I-V-E-M) markedly increases accident probability, and complex-network metrics highlight hub (overloading, brake defects, inadequate road inspection, failure to observe road conditions) and bridge (inadequate inspection, illegal lane change, brake defects, speeding) factors. Targeted enforcement of loading limits, enhanced inspection regimes and driver training are recommended. Integrating the N-K model with complex-network analysis provides a systematic basis for prioritising preventive measures and improving road-freight safety.
