Electric scooter related injuries among children: a single institutional experience.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. 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
backgroundElectric scooter (ES) use has become increasingly popular, particularly among children. However, few studies have characterized pediatric ES-related injuries. We present our experience with children hospitalized due to ES-related trauma.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted of 103 pediatric patients hospitalized with ES-related injuries between 2018 and 2024. Data collected included patient demographics, type of injury, helmet use, clinical presentation, inpatient management, and follow-up.
resultsES injuries accounted for approximately 3% of all pediatric trauma admissions. The mean age of patients was 11.3 ± 3.7 years, and 84 (81.5%) were male. Helmet use was documented in 55 (62.5%) of cases. No significant trend in patient age or injury incidence was observed over the study period. Orthopedic injuries were the most common (n = 73, 70.9%), followed by general pediatric surgical injuries (n = 11, 10.7%). Twelve patients (11.6%) required admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Multiple injuries were observed in 14 patients (13.6%). A significant association was found between head trauma and lack of helmet use OR 23.8 (95% CI 3-200).
conclusionES-related injuries, particularly orthopedic trauma, are a common cause of hospitalization in children and are associated with notable morbidity. Helmet use was protective against head injury, underscoring the importance of safety measures.
