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

Objectives: To estimate the years of life lost (YLL) for deaths due to external causes in Honduras during the 2013-2023 period. Materials and methods: A descriptive-ecological study based on mortality records for external causes from the National Observatory on Violence of Honduras (2013-2023). YLL were estimated, and a stratified analysis by sex, age, and type of cause was performed. Additionally, a trend analysis using the Mann-Kendall test was conducted, stratified by sex and type of cause. Results: During the analyzed period, 1.9 million YLL due to external causes were estimated, 86% of which corresponded to men. Homi-cides were the main cause of YLL in both sexes (62.4% in men and 43.5% in women), followed by traffic accidents (18.3% and 25%, respectively). Between 2013 and 2023, YLL showed a steady increase. In men, increases were observed in unintentional causes (110.5%), suicide (100.1%), and traffic accidents (98.7%); in women, in unintentional causes (146.2%), suicide (62.6%), and traffic accidents (40.4%). Conclusions: Deaths due to external causes, which are mostly preventable, disproportionately affect the young adult population and show an increasing trend. It is essential to implement interventions differentiated by age and sex that contribute to reducing their impact on premature mortality.
