Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to delineate parental concept of road safety in the state of Qatar, integrate parental thoughts and ideas into public safety, and share our data with authorities to assist in implementing campaigns against speeding in a country with a high rate of motor vehicle accidents.
methodsA cross-sectional prospective study was conducted at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), the only tertiary care and academic hospital in the state of Qatar. Parents of children younger than 18 years of age and residents of the State of Qatar were offered an interview survey.
resultsA total of 200 questionnaires were completed (response rate = 98%). Approximately 80% of parents were in between 20 and 40 years of age, and 61% of them were females. Almost 40% of participating families reside outside of the city of Doha. Interestingly, only 1 in 2 parents thought their children were safe while riding with them in the car. Moreover, only 47% of parents always used car seats, seatbelts, and proper restraints. This is inspite that nearly 82% of parents felt that these restraints protect children in case of an accident. Parents were also asked of the best place to receive information regarding road safety. Almost 50% preferred to receive the information through social media, whereas 44.3% opted for local television. Role modeling was also assessed and it showed that 85% of parents believed that the most effective way in teaching children and young people to use roads in a safe way is to always provide a positive role model when using the roads.
conclusionA large proportion of residents in the state of Qatar perceive that children are not safe while commuting in roads. Social media, a space where most of our community inhabit, seems to be the best setting to target our people.
