Burden and trends of road traffic injuries in Kenya from 2014 to 2023: insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study.
Article in BMJ public health, 2026. 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
Background: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a global contributor to injury-related mortality, with low- and middle-income countries bearing a disproportionate burden. Objective: To assess the burden and trend of RTIs in Kenya from 2014 to 2023 using the Global Burden of Disease Data. Methods: We conducted secondary analysis of RTIs using the Global Burden of Disease GBD) data. Numbers and rates per 100 000 of mortality and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) were reported with a 95% uncertainty interval. The average annual percentage change was calculated to assess trends in age-standardised mortality and DALY rates. Results: From 2014 to 2023, age-standardised mortality and DALY rates for road injuries in Kenya showed an overall increasing trend, with motorcyclist-related injuries experiencing the most pronounced rise. Pedestrian injuries contributed to the highest mortality, while motor vehicle injuries accounted for the greatest DALYs. Vulnerable road users motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians demonstrated consistent upward trends, particularly during 2021. Road-injury rates were substantially higher in males compared with females and were greatest among adults aged 55 years and above. Conclusions: Road injuries in Kenya increased from 2014 to 2023, particularly among motorcyclists. In 2023, motor vehicle occupants and pedestrians bore the highest mortality and DALY burden. Males and adults aged ≥55 years had the highest mortality and DALY rates.
