All-Terrain Vehicle(ATV) Injuries - An Institutional Review Over 6 Years.
Article in The Ulster medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveQuad bike or all-terrain vehicle (ATV) related injuries are a significant cause of trauma and may present with severe or fatal injuries. Most of the literature describing ATV related injuries come from North America and Australasia and data from the United Kingdom is scarce despite a high prevalence of ATV use. The aim of this study was to describe our single centre experience with ATV injuries over a 6-year period from 2010 to 2015. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a cohort analysis of 65 patients who presented with ATV related injuries in South West Acute Hospital, UK between 2010 and 2015.
results65 patients had ATV injuries. 34 (52%) patients were children between 0 - 17 years of age. 88% (n=57) patients were ejected from the ATV, six got trapped underneath and two had collisions. "Ejection" as a mechanism of injury was significantly more common than the other mechanisms (p<0.0001). Compliance with helmet use was low at 16% (n=10). Extremity (48%) and head and face trauma (43%) were the most common injuries. One (1.5%) patient died while 3 (4.6%) patients had major morbidity.
conclusionATV injuries are an important cause of trauma admissions and carry a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Extremity and head trauma are the most common injuries resulting from ATV accidents. More than 50% of the injured are children. Compliance with helmet use is low and calls for legislation and public awareness strategies to reduce the impact of ATV accidents on health care.
