Preventing Child Pedestrian Injury: A Guide for Practitioners.
Article in American journal of lifestyle medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Each year, an estimated 270,000 pedestrians die from road traffic-related injuries, (worldwide) and children are among the most vulnerable. Child pedestrian injuries occur primarily in residential areas, often on the same street or in close proximity to the child's home, and 90% of injured child pedestrians are unaccompanied by an adult at the time of the injury. The cause of these injuries is a complex combination of factors related not only to characteristics of the child but also the built environment, the road configuration, features of the motor vehicle that might reduce injury, and driver behavior. Accordingly, effective interventions must incorporate education, technology, and improved infrastructure. The medical practitioner can not only provide the necessary education but can also be a powerful voice for changes in pedestrian infrastructure that make walking safer. This article explores the current state of childhood pedestrian injuries using examples from the United States and Australia. Pedestrian interventions and the role that primary care and lifestyle practitioners play in promoting safe pedestrian behaviors among their patients and their families are discussed.
