30-day survival and injury severity in traffic accidents in Iran: A mixed-method study protocol.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundToday, one of the greatest global challenges, particularly in developing countries, is traffic accidents and their associated consequences. The severity of injuries from these accidents often leads to serious outcomes for victims, including long-term disabilities and high mortality rates. Deaths from traffic accidents may occur at the scene, during transportation, or in hospitals. In light of the existing challenges in coordination between law enforcement and healthcare systems regarding traffic accident fatalities in our country, this study aims to: 1. Determining the 30-day survival rate and its relationship with injury severity among traffic accident victims in Khorramabad in 2025. 2. Identifying key challenges and proposing effective solutions for improving traffic accident management in Khorramabad. METHODOLOGY: This mixed-methods study will be conducted in three phases: 1. Phase 1 (Quantitative): A prospective cohort study will investigate the relationship between injury severity (as measured by scales such as ISS)and 30-day survival rates. 2. Phase 2 (Qualitative): Purposive sampling will be used to conduct semi-structured interviews with stakeholders (victims, families, EMTs, healthcare providers, etc.). Qualitative data will be analyzed via inductive content analysis (Hsieh & Shannon approach) to identify challenges and solutions in traffic accident management. 3. Phase 3 (Integration): Findings from Phases 1 and 2 will be finalized and presented to policymakers, managers, and experts. The Delphi method will be used to prioritize challenges/solutions and finalize evidence-based recommendations.Results will be disseminated through: Peer-reviewed publications in reputable journals. Policy briefs tailored for officials to improve traffic accident management.
