A Survey of Safety Recommendations for All-Terrain Vehicle Dealers and Track Owners in Kansas.
Article in Kansas journal of medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAll-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are associated with injury, mortality, and healthcare costs. ATV related injuries are less severe when consistent safety practices are followed, however, ATV safety regulations are varied among states. This study sought to survey Kansas ATV dealers and track owners to determine safety promotion practices.
methodsA cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted of Kansas ATV dealers and tracks. Survey questions included promotion and sale of safety equipment, provision of ATV safety information, and respondent characteristics.
resultsOf those contacted, 32% of dealers and 31% of tracks responded to the survey. Most ATV dealers sell safety gear (70% - 100%) and all recommend safety gear to buyers and riders. All ATV tracks reported requiring helmets (100%) but were varied regarding other forms of safety gear. The majority of ATV dealers (77%) recommended safety courses, but only 31% of dealers and 40% of tracks offered courses. Eighty percent of ATV tracks and 52% of dealers felt they had a professional responsibility to educate riders/owners on safety.
conclusionSafety promotion by ATV dealers in Kansas consistently was recommended, but often limited to the sales of safety gear (helmets and gloves) or the provision of manufacturer provided safety materials. Further, ATV dealers reported rarely offering skills tests or safety courses to buyers. In Kansas, safety promotion at the point of sale or track level could be improved to increase public awareness of ATV safety practices.
