Accidental pediatric death: a ten year retrospective cohort.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundAccidental death is the leading manner of pediatric death worldwide. In Canada, this phenomenon has been explored in-depth in select provinces however published assessments of accidental pediatric death in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador (NL) remain limited.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of cases of accidental death in children and youth aged 0- to 21- years that occurred between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2013 and referred to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of NL was carried out. Comparison was made between accidental death in NL and the provinces of New Brunswick (NB) and Manitoba (MB) matching ages and years of occurrence.
resultsA total of 139 cases occurred with a mean age of 15.8 (+/-4.9) years. Males accounted for more cases than females (p < 0.001). Leading cause of death was mechanical trauma due to a motor vehicle collision (MVC) (52%). Among all causes of death statistical significance was present (p < 0.001). Within NL regional differences were present with the highest incidence of all accidental death occurring in the Labrador Grenfell Health region (p = 0.002). When comparing NL to MB, rates of accidents were comparable. More differences were seen when comparing to NB regarding specific causes of death, and sexes.
conclusionAccident incidence differed significantly between NL provincial regions with rural areas manifesting more accidents per capita than urban areas. NL data was similar to MB and lower than NB in overall accidental death, cause specific death and among sexes.
