The ups and downs of trampolines: Injuries associated with backyard trampolines and trampoline parks.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo compare characteristics associated with backyard trampoline injuries (BTI) and trampoline park injuries (TPI) using records from the electronic Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (eCHIRPP).
methodseCHIRPP records for trampoline injuries (2012 to 2016) were extracted using variable codes and narratives, and injuries were examined among individuals 17 years and younger. Descriptive estimates for BTI and TPI, as well as age and sex adjusted odds ratios (OR) for the mechanism, source, body part and type of injury associated with TPIs relative to BTIs, are presented.
resultsTrampoline injuries are increasing in Canada (P<0.01). Patients with TPIs were older than those with BTIs. Relative to BTIs, TPIs were more associated with impact as the mechanism (OR 2.6, 95% CI: 2.2 to 3.1), trampoline beds as the source (OR 1.7, 95% CI: 1.4 to 2.1), lower extremity as the body part (OR 3.7, 95% CI: 3.0 to 4.4) and sprains as the type of injury (OR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.6 to 2.4). In contrast, another jumper (OR 0.5, 95% CI: 0.4 to 0.6) or fall (OR 0.4, 95% CI: 0.4 to 0.6) as the mechanism, surface (OR 0.7, 95% CI: 0.5 to 0.9) or another jumper (OR 0.5, 95% CI: 0.4 to 0.7) as the source, face or neck (OR 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4 to 0.7) as the body part, and lacerations (OR 0.6, 95% CI: 0.3 to 0.9) or soft tissue injury (OR 0.7, 95% CI: 0.6 to 0.9) as the type of injury were more associated with BTIs relative to TPIs.
conclusionTrampoline parks result in injuries different than those from backyard trampolines. This examination into the distinct injury characteristics can help to inform future prevention measures.
