Prevalence and Associated Factors Accounting for In-School Adolescents' Serious Injuries in Bolivia: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Health science reports, 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 and Aim: Serious injuries are harmful actions and conduct that can contribute to serious health problems among adolescents in schools. Serious injuries account for a significant proportion of the global burden of disease in adolescents. Given the limited information on the Bolivian context, the current study aims to examine the prevalence of this phenomenon and its associated factors among school-age adolescents in Bolivia. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to draw data from the 2018 Bolivia Global School-Based Student Health Survey. This survey used a self-administered questionnaire to collect data on adolescents' health behaviors and protective factors in Bolivia. Pearson's Results: The prevalence of serious injuries among 7822 Bolivian in-school adolescents was 51.9%, with male (52%) and female (52.8%) participants experiencing serious injuries, respectively. The odds of serious injuries were significantly higher among males than females (AOR = 1.249, CI = 1.133-1.377), those in Grades 1-3 than 4-5 (AOR = 1.337, CI = 1.170-1.529), those who were mostly hungry (AOR = 1.299, CI = 1.024-1.648), current alcohol users (AOR = 1.283, CI = 1.136-1.449) and those who ever got drunk with alcohol (AOR = 1.200, CI = 1.055-1.365). Also, the risk of serious injuries was high among physically attacked victims (AOR = 1.756, CI = 1.568-1.965), those who engaged in physical fights (AOR = 1.642, CI = 1.468-1.838), those who were bullied outside school (AOR = 1.236, CI = 1.089-1.403), suicide attempters (AOR = 1.289, CI = 1.118-1.487), and those who had multiple sexual partners (AOR = 1.157, CI = 1.007-1.329). Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of serious injuries among in-school adolescents in Bolivia. More prevention-based policies and intervention programmes are required to decrease the occurrence of severe injuries among this cohort.
