Ride Safe: a child passenger safety program for American Indian/Alaska Native children.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, child safety seat (CSS) use rates are much lower than in non-native communities. To reduce this disparity, Indian Health Service (IHS) staff developed, pilot-tested, and implemented Ride Safe, which provided education, training, and child safety seats for children aged 3-5 participating in Tribal Head Start Centers.
methodsFocus groups, key informant interviews, and technical review guided program development and implementation. Progress reports and child safety seat use observations, conducted at the beginning and end of three program years (Fall 2003 to Spring 2006), assessed program reach and impact. To examine CSS use, we used three multiple logistic regressions, including a conservative intent to treat analysis.
resultsRide Safe reached approximately 3,500 children and their families at 14 sites in six states, providing over 1,700 parents/family members with educational activities, 2,916 child safety seats, and child passenger safety (CPS) technician certification training for 78 Tribal staff. Children were 2.5 times (OR = 2.55, p < .01) as likely to be observed in child safety seats comparing Rounds 1 and 2 data, with the most conservative model showing that the odds of being observed restrained were 74% higher (OR = 1.74, p = or<.01) after implementation of the program.
conclusionsThe Ride Safe Program effectively increased child safety seat use in AI/AN communities, however, observed use rates ranging from 30% to 71% remain well below the 2006 all US rate of 93%. Results from CSS educational and distribution/installation programs such as Ride Safe should be considered in light of the need to increase distribution programs and enhance enforcement activities in AI/AN communities, thereby reducing the disparity in AI/AN motor vehicle injuries and death.
