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
backgroundUnintentional injuries are the leading cause of childhood injuries and result in thousands of deaths annually. However, children are at higher risk due to their increased curiosity and the time they spend at home. This study aimed to assess maternal knowledge regarding preventive measures for household injuries, including their frequency and severity.
methodUsing an electronic, self-administered questionnaire, this cross-sectional study assessed the knowledge and awareness of 433 mothers of children aged 1 to 12 years in our population between March 22 and July 31, 2023. Participants' awareness levels were the main outcome.
resultsOf the participants, 54% reported that their children had experienced domestic injuries. The most frequently reported injuries were falls, burns, and wounds caused by sharp objects. Moreover, more than 50% of the children needed to visit the emergency department, of whom 10% required hospitalization. Regarding the awareness level score, 55% of mothers had moderate knowledge of home-related injuries. Furthermore, attending first-aid courses and other health education programs predicted higher awareness scores among the mothers.
conclusionsMore than half of the children in our study population had injuries that had occurred recently or in previous years. There was a significant discrepancy between the mothers' reported knowledge and their safety practices.
