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/
aimEvidence on the risk of injury at concerts is scant. The aim of this study was to collect data on general and dental injuries incurred by concertgoers in Switzerland and to investigate whether the frequency of accidents was related to music genre, gender and consumption of alcohol. MATERIALS AND
methodsA questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study comprising 451 concertgoers in Switzerland was conducted on the timeframe January 2019 to February 2021. The survey gathered data on general and dental injuries, alcohol consumption and drug use. The statistical analysis included Fisher's exact tests, chi-squared tests, rank sum tests and logistic regressions (α = .05).
resultsThere were 28.8% of respondents who reported an injury incurred at a concert. Contusion was the most prevalent injury, accounting for 33.8% of all injuries. Legs were the most commonly injured body part (34.6%). Injuries to their mouth/lips/teeth were reported by 17.7% of respondents. Dental injuries, accounting for 4.6% of all reported injuries, comprised four tooth fractures, one lateral luxation and one avulsion. The risk of injury while attending punk rock concerts was 8.6 times higher than for pop concerts (p < .001). In comparison with pop concerts, metal and rock concerts had an increased risk of injury by factors of 5.1 and 2.3, respectively (p ≤ .029). Neither gender nor drug use had a significant effect on the injury risk (p ≥ .3). Heavy alcohol consumption (>5 standard glasses) increased the risk of injury by a factor of 2.3 (p = .028).
conclusionsThis study suggests that concert attendees at rock, metal and punk concerts face an increased risk of injury, which is likely due to the frequency of aggressive dance styles such as moshing. Heavy alcohol consumption leads to a greater risk of injury at concerts.
