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

purposeTrauma remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in youth. The Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) program is an injury prevention program. The aim of the study was to analyze the influence on risk-taking behaviors and risk awareness on young road users by a pre-post-questionnaire.

methodsA pre-post intervention study was performed using a standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire contained three sections with different items (in total 22) to identify differences regarding students' risk behavior and risk awareness. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with significance defined as p < 0.05.

resultsThe study sample contains 193 students (age 14-17, 44% male). We found significant differences for asking if a student "fastens his/her helmet's chinstrap when driving a motorbike" (p = 0.001) and for the question "Do you wear a helmet when you go rollerblading" (p = 0.008). After attending the program, participants would decrease the use of a mobile phone while driving (p = 0.038) and the understanding of the risk "speeding" and "cycling without a helmet" significantly increased.

conclusionsThe P.A.R.T.Y. program focuses on items like "use of helmet and mobile phones" and "alcohol/drug abuse". Evaluating the program helps to uncover vulnerabilities and to enhance important effects. Some of these items are addressed by the program, whereas some are not. It will be important to improve the program according to address topics that have not shown significant improvements, so that students learn more about the dangers and the right behavior in road traffic.
