The inequality in the burden of road traffic injuries among children aged 0-14 years in Iran: estimates from the global burden of disease study 2019.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundRoad traffic injuries (RTIs) remain a leading cause of death and disability, posing a significant public health challenge. This study analyzes the relationship between the Human Development Index (HDI) and epidemiological patterns of RTIs among children aged 0-14 years. The primary objective is to identify and examine inequalities in the burden of these injuries as a major contributor to mortality and disability in this age group.
methodsThe current study is a descriptive-analytical study and children aged 0-14 in Iran are the target population of the study. The data regarding incidence, mortality, and years of healthy life lost due to disability (YLD), years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL), and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) caused by road traffic injuries was collected from Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD) from 2010 to 2019. In order to evaluate the Pearson correlation between these indexes with the human development index (HDI), a correlation test was used. All statistical analyses were performed using Stata version 17 (StataCorp LLC).
resultsThe result also showed that in 2019 the most cause of death 3.86(3.03, 4.94) years of life lost due to premature mortality 314.9(246.9, 400.3), and DALY 317.4(249.9, 402.42) was caused by motor vehicle injuries and the most of the incidences 190.8(114.7, 285.6) and DALY 3.12(1.96, 4.56) in 2019 was caused by Cyclist Road injuries. A strong correlation has been seen among road traffic mortality (r = -0.613, p-value = 0.0002), DALY rate (r = -0.622, p-value = 0.0002), and YLL (r = -0.622, p-value = 0.0002) with HDI.
conclusionAlthough there has been a decrease in road traffic mortality in children, still some road safety actions must be taken to reduce road injuries specifically in provinces with lower HDI.
