Uncovering a Failed Pediatric Patient Population in Rural America: A Statewide Analysis of Over 1,000 Dog Bite Injuries.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pediatric dog bites are prevalent and often devastating. Population-based data on these injuries can aid public health intervention efforts. However, most existing literature comes from single institutions in urban settings. We assess a statewide cohort to compare injury characteristics in urban and rural regions and find predictors for inter-hospital transfer. Data from 1,007 injuries from 2000 to 2015 were analyzed. Patients in rural areas were younger, more likely to be white and low-income, and more likely to receive delayed patient care. Injuries occurring in public settings as opposed to the private residence were more likely to involve males, occur in low-income areas, and involve non-white patients. Patients who required inter-hospital transfer were more likely to require a surgical subspecialist and operative repair. Our population analysis reveals children living in rural areas as a previously unidentified vulnerable patient population that may be suitable targets for public health interventions.
