Special Report from the CDC Healthcare provider influence on driving behavior after a mild traumatic brain injury: Findings from the 2021 SummerStyles survey.

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
introductionResearch shows that a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) impairs a person's ability to identify driving hazards 24 h post injury and increases the risk for motor vehicle crash. This study examined the percentage of people who reported driving after their most serious mTBI and whether healthcare provider education influenced this behavior.
methodsSelf-reported data were collected from 4,082 adult respondents in the summer wave of Porter Novelli's 2021 ConsumerStyles survey. Respondents with a driver's license were asked whether they drove right after their most serious mTBI, how safe they felt driving, and whether a doctor or nurse talked to them about when it was ok to drive after their injury.
resultsAbout one in five (18.8 %) respondents reported sustaining an mTBI in their lifetime. Twenty-two percent (22.3 %) of those with a driver's license at the time of their most serious mTBI drove within 24 h, and 20 % felt very or somewhat unsafe doing so. About 19 % of drivers reported that a doctor or nurse talked to them about when it was safe to return to driving. Those who had a healthcare provider talk to them about driving were 66 % less likely to drive a car within 24 h of their most serious mTBI (APR = 0.34, 95 % CI: 0.20, 0.60) compared to those who did not speak to a healthcare provider about driving.
conclusionsIncreasing the number of healthcare providers who discuss safe driving practices after a mTBI may reduce acute post-mTBI driving. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Inclusion of information in patient discharge instructions and prompts for healthcare providers in electronic medical records may help encourage conversations about post-mTBI driving.
