1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Long-term psychological effects may occur after childhood dog bite injuries. We performed a national survey to assess psychosocial interventions for children presenting with dog bite injuries to pediatric trauma centers. Methods: A 26-question, online survey was administered to Pediatric Trauma Program Managers in the United States ( Results: In total, 28 American College of Surgeons or State-verified Pediatric Trauma Centers responded to the survey ( Conclusion: Most institutions surveyed did not have protocols or interventions in place to address psychosocial disturbances in children with dog bite injuries. We provide the example of our institution's practice, in which automatic psychology consults are placed for every child who is admitted with a dog bite injury. Performing caregiver education in the emergency department, providing caregivers with regional psychosocial resources, and communicating with a child's pediatrician may promote the necessary standardized psychological screening and/or follow up of these patients.
