Violence-related injuries in the emergency department: an epidemiological cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 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
introductionThe financial cost and loss of quality of life due to death or non-fatal physical and psychological injuries resulting from interpersonal violence impose substantial financial and non-financial burdens on the economy and society. Unfortunately, violence is more prevalent in low-income countries, and treating the physical and psychological consequences of violence places a significant burden on the healthcare system. The present study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of conflict-related injuries among emergency department attendees.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed 422 individuals presenting with conflict-related injuries to an emergency department in Hamedan in 2019. Data on demographics, incident details, and clinical outcomes were collected via a validated checklist and analyzed using SPSS v.24.
resultsThe majority of participants were male (91.9%), aged 20–29 (60.7%), and single (73.7%). Most incidents occurred in spring (46.0%) and on the street (43.4%). The primary cause of conflict was animosity/hostility (28.2%). The head and neck were the most frequently injured areas (40.5%). While most patients (71.6%) were discharged directly from the ED, the mortality rate was 0.7%.
conclusionGenerally, the study results have shown that focusing educational programs on high-risk groups and taking necessary measures to fill their leisure time, along with educating families and individuals at different levels, can play a significant role in creating community security, preserving people’s health, and reducing healthcare costs.
