Farming Related Trauma Injuries in Southern West Virginia With a Focus on Risks, Injury Trends, and Associated Co-morbidities.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background The implementation of safety policies in farming-related injuries in West Virginia has been lacking. Farming-related injuries have resulted in massive injuries that have resulted in life long injuries and death. Therefore, this study aims to review 12 years of our level 1 trauma data and describe the incidence rate and patterns of priority-related farming injuries in West Virginia, as well as the specific co-morbidities and related injuries that might be more susceptible to damage. Methods We examined 82 cases of farm-related injuries that required trauma-priority related intervention from 2005 -2016. We harvested data from the Charleston Area Medical Center Trauma registry to investigate associated injuries. We defined farm equipment as any mechanical or automated tool used on a farm for related farm upkeep or farm-related activity. Multinomial logistic regression was used to understand the overall impact on the differing effects of years of injuries. Results The total number of farming-related injury cases was 82. The most statistically suggestive finding was those that had a positive narcotics urine test at (p= 0.062) (-.3230-12.82). Those with a history of CHF (congestive heart failure) also had a significant statistical relationship at (p=0.001) (-5.477-1.394). Alcohol use disorder was also a significant statistical relationship (p=0.012) (-5.127--.6728). The most common injuries were concussions at 18 % ( 15/82) followed by rib fractures at 17 % ( 14/82). Conclusion Farming-related injuries appear to have increased risks on specific body and organ systems, as described in our initial data analysis. Specific co-morbidities also have been documented to show a higher risk of injury and would need further investigation. Specific years show a higher prevalence of farming injuries compared to other years. Further research is needed to explore these underlying findings.
