The Risk of Road Traffic Injuries Caused Hospitalization and the Risk of Mental Health Illness: A Nationwide, Matched-Cohort, Population-Based Study in Taiwan.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundWhile road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a significant global health concern, medical attention has predominantly addressed physical injuries, often overlooking the psychological impact on survivors. The mental health consequences of such traumatic events remain understudied and inadequately addressed in clinical practice.
aimsThis study examined the association between RTIs and subsequent mental health disorders. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using claims data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) between 2000 and 2015. The exposed cohort comprised 39,870 patients hospitalized following RTIs. These individuals were matched 1:27 with 1,076,911 control patients hospitalized for non-RTI-related conditions, using propensity score matching based on sex, age, and admission date. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to compute adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs), assessing the risk of psychiatric diagnoses in the RTI group compared to controls. OUTCOMES AND
resultsPatients hospitalized following RTIs demonstrated a substantially increased risk of subsequent mental health disorders compared to matched controls (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 2.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.66-2.79). This elevated risk remained statistically significant after comprehensive adjustment for potential confounding variables.
