1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCycling, as a healthy and economical mode of transportation, have positive impacts on public health. However, due to the lack of safe infrastructure, cyclists are more susceptible to severe injuries. In Iran, the share of cycling in daily trips is lower compared to developed countries, but the mortality rate due to accidents is higher than the global standard. Therefore, conducting comprehensive studies to analyze the pattern of injuries and the factors influencing their severity in Iran seems to be crucial. This study aims to examine the epidemiological status of cycling accidents in Iran. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional and retrospective study utilized data from the National Trauma Registry of Iran from August 01, 2016, to February 20, 2024. All injured cyclists were defined according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10

resultsThe study results indicated that most accidents occurred between 6 PM and midnight (40.26%). Regarding the cause of the accident, cyclist falls without collision with a vehicle (35.36%), and cyclists collisions with cars, pickups, or vans (30.08%) were the two main reasons for cycling accidents. The most frequent types of injuries involved the upper limbs (36.48%), lower limbs (29.28%), and head, face, and neck (22.4%). The severity score of injuries increased by four percent for each additional year of age. Regarding the relationship between employment status and injury severity, the severity score was significantly higher in the group of children less than 6 years old compared to employed individuals.

conclusionThis study provides insights into the demographic characteristics, causes, and outcomes of injuries resulting from cycling accidents. The main causes included cyclist falls and collisions with vehicles, with the most common injuries to the upper limbs, head, and neck. Injury severity scores were higher in men and older individuals, and transportation by ambulance was associated with higher injury severity. These findings might inform the development of preventive programs and improvements in cycling safety infrastructure.
