Parental non-compliance to childhood safety practices: A cross-sectional study.

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 & objectives To assess the pattern of non-compliance to childhood safety practices among parents of children between one and five yr of age and to determine the reasons behind the same. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 children between one and five yr of age through a questionnaire-based interview of the primary carer. Poor compliance was defined as compliance to <85 per cent of the recommended practices. Results Of the total 48 injuries, 32 were serious (66.6%). Falls and burns/scalds were the two common types of injuries. Nearly three-fourths (72.5%) of families showed overall poor compliance. Poorest compliance was observed towards four safety practices namely, helmet wearing, restricting number of pillion riders to two on a two-wheeler, seatbelt wearing in a car and avoiding food items with a high risk of choking in children <3 yr. Parental perception of 'unnecessary' and 'lack of knowledge' were the main reasons behind non-compliance. Interpretation & conclusions Low compliance among families occurred with respect to safety on motor vehicles and avoidance of choking hazards. Change of parental perception and improved awareness is necessary for the prevention of unintentional childhood injuries.
