A population-based study of paediatric emergency department and office visits for concussions from 2003 to 2010.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03217695 (A Pilot Study on the Effect of Mindfulness-based Yoga on Youth With Persistent Concussion Symptoms), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThere is a paucity of information regarding descriptive epidemiology of paediatric concussions over time, and few studies include both emergency department (ED) and physician office visits.
objectiveTo describe trends in visits for paediatric concussions in both EDs and physician offices according to age and sex. A secondary objective was to describe the cause of concussion for children treated in EDs.
methodsA retrospective, population-based study using linked health administrative data from all concussion-related visits to the ED or a physician office by school-age children and youth (three to 18 years of age) in Ontario between April 1, 2003 and March 3, 2011 was conducted.
resultsThe number of children evaluated in both EDs and a physician offices increased between 2003 and 2010, and this linear trend was statistically significant (P=0.002 for ED visits and P=0.001 for office visits). The rate per 100,000 increased from 466.7 to 754.3 for boys and from 208.6 to 440.7 for girls during the study period. Falls accounted for approximately one-third of the paediatric concussions. Hockey/skating was the most common specific cause of paediatric sports-related concussions.
conclusionsThe increasing use of health care services for concussions is likely related to changes in incidence over time and increased awareness of concussion as a health issue. Evidence-based prevention initiatives to help reduce the incidence of concussion are warranted, particularly in sports and recreation programs.
