A Longitudinal Observation of the Influence of Michigan Sports Concussion Law on Parents' Knowledge and Perception of Sport-Related Concussion.

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
introductionIn 2013, Michigan enacted legislation requiring parents and athletes to receive educational material concerning sport-related concussion (SRC). The aim of this study was to examine trends in concussion knowledge of parents from one community following implementation of Michigan's Sports Concussion Laws (MSCL).
methodsA convenience sample of parents of students from a suburban school district were surveyed via district email at one year and five years post MSCL implementation. Results were compared to an equivalent 33-item survey obtained prior to the law. Individual questions were compared between the three surveys using Chi-square analysis with statistical significance observed at p < 0.05.
resultsA total of 381 responses were obtained from the one-year post-MSCL (1yMSCL) and 178 in the five-year post-MSCL (5yMSCL) survey. Awareness of district policy regarding concussion was significantly higher after implementation of the MSCL (i.e., 77% at 1yMSCL and 71% at 5yMSCL) compared to prior 18% pre-MSCL (p < 0.0001). Respondents to the 5yMSCL survey were also significantly more aware of medical guidelines surrounding "return to play" after SRC compared to 1yMSCL (84.8% v 78.7%, p = 0.01). At 5yMSCL, significantly more respondents agreed that head injuries could cause more brain damage to children than adults (86.5% v 78.7% at 1yMSCL, p = 0.03). Finally, most parents at both survey periods rated the concussion educational material as the most helpful information source regarding SRC.
conclusionsBased on these results, parental knowledge awareness appears to have increased concerning awareness of medical guidelines for SRC and potential brain damage risks to children after enactment of the MSCL.
