Epidemiology of Orthopaedic Trauma Cases at a Tertiary Level Hospital in Nepal: An Observational Study.
Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Introduction: Trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While there has been significant progress in understanding trauma in high-income countries, data from Nepal is limited. This study's main objective was to explore the demographic profile, injury patterns, and treatment of orthopaedic trauma patients presenting to a tertiary-level hospital in Nepal. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at a tertiary-level hospital of Nepal. All complete records of trauma cases presenting to the hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were included in the study. Data were collected from electronic and manual records, anonymized, and analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2021. Results: A total of 27,893 complete records were included in the study. Of these, 19,679 (70.55%) patients were male. Patients aged 30-44 years accounted for 9,566 (34.29%) cases. The mechanisms of injury included falls in 12,585 (45.12%) cases and road traffic accidents in 8,524 (30.56%) cases. Fractures were identified in 17,593 (63.07%) patients, with 9,800 cases classified as lower extremity fractures. Additionally, 18,595 (66.67%) patients were referred from outside the district. Conclusions: Orthopaedic trauma was seen more commonly in males and the most common causes of injury are falls and RTA. Fractures were the most common pattern of orthopaedic injuries and lower extremity fractures were the most common.
