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

Background: Although falls are the major cause of non-fatal injuries and preventable deaths among Chinese children, comprehensive assessments of the temporal trends in the burden of falls among children aged 0-14 years in China remain scarce. To address this gap, we quantified national and temporal trends in burden of falls among children aged 0-14 years from 1990 to 2021 and projected future trends through 2030. Methods: The current study used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD2021), we extracted crude incidence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to falls along with their corresponding absolute counts for Chinese children aged 0-14 years during 1990-2021. All metrics were stratified by sex and 5-year age group. Age-standardized rates (ASRs), including age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), age-standardized YLLs rate, age-standardized YLDs rate, and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) for children aged 0-14 years, were recalculated using the World Health Organization's standard population. Temporal trends were assessed with Joinpoint regression model to compute average annual percentage changes (AAPCs). Finally, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models were developed to project ASRs for children aged 0-14 years through 2030. Results: Between 1990 and 2021, children aged 0-14 years experienced 163,769,426 incident cases and 255,840 deaths, resulting in a total of 25,085,796 DALYs. The ASIR, ASMR, age-standardized YLLs rate, age-standardized YLDs rate, and ASDR all demonstrated a downward trends with AAPCs of -0.34% (95% Conclusion: The burden of falls remains a major public challenge among children aged 0-14 years, although its burden at the national level showed a downward trend from 1990 to 2021. The age-standardized YLDs rate among males, the incidence among children aged 0-4 years and the YLDs among children aged 0-9 years are projected to increase from 2022 to 2030. These findings suggest that mandatory implementation of age-specific fall-prevention protocols in kindergartens and primary schools nationwide and expand the coverage of injury surveillance and implement it nationwide.
