Measurement of the Burden of Road Injuries in Colombia, 1990-2021.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimTo analyze the burden of road injuries in Colombia from 1990 to 2021, disaggregated by sex, age groups, and road injury category.
methodsObservational study based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021. National data on prevalence, incidence, mortality, years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) were obtained. Data are reported in years and age-standardized and age-specific rates per 100,000 inhabitants. A log-linear segmented regression model was employed to analyze trends in DALY rates of road injuries from 1990 to 2021.
resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized prevalence and incidence rates (per 100,000 inhabitants) due to road injury decreased by -30.6% (95% UI: -34.3; -26.4) and -27.5% (95% UI: -30.7; -24.4), respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate trend of road injuries decreased by -40.6% (95% UI: -50.0; -31.0). Meanwhile, the age-standardized DALY rate decreased by -39.7% (95% UI: -47.9; -31.3) during the study period. In all indicators, men's rates were higher than women's. By road injury category, the age-standardized rates increased significantly for motorcyclist road injuries, particularly among men.
conclusionsRoad injuries in Colombia have declined but remain significant, especially for young men. Motorcycle injuries show alarming increases in mortality and DALY rates.
