The Canadian Hospital Injury Reporting and Prevention Program: Captured versus uncaptured injuries for patients presenting at a paediatric tertiary care centre.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThe Canadian Hospital Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) is an injury surveillance program that informs prevention policy locally and nationally. It is of import that it is reflective of the underlying population. The objective of this study was to describe differences between those injuries that were captured by the program, and those that were not.
methodsThis was a retrospective chart review of patients presenting with an injury to the IWK Health Centre between January 12, 2013 and June 30, 2013. The patients (or their parents/guardians) either completed a CHIRPP form (captured injuries), or did not (non-captured). The probability of receiving a CHIRPP form was modelled using logistic regression using patients' age, gender, disposition, Canadian Triage Assessment Scale (CTAS) score and activity/event at time of injury.
resultsA total of 2928 patients presented with an injury during the study period. Of these, 2135 (72.9%) were captured by the CHIRPP program and 793 (27.1%) were not. Patients (or parents) not returning the form to the department (465/793, 58.6%) represented the largest source of non-capture. The likelihood of non-capture increased with increasing CTAS score, the patient being admitted, and the following events at time of injury: drugs or overdoses, self-harm and foreign body involvement.
conclusionThere is an under-representation of seriously injured patients by CHIRPP at the IWK. This data may underestimate the true severity of injuries. It may also under-represent injuries that involve incidents of self-harm or drugs. Effort must be expended to increase the capture rate of CHIRPP.
