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
Objective: This study explored the underlying reasons for non-compliance with seatbelt usage among rear-seat passengers in Iran. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in 2023 with a diverse group of participants, including driving instructors, drivers, psychologists, rear-seat passengers, and experts in the field of traffic accidents and driving from Tehran, Khuzestan, and Golestan (n=39 persons). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions and analyzed using conventional content analysis. The interviews, which lasted between 40 and 90 minutes, were recorded using two digital recorders, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed following the conventional qualitative content analysis method. Results: The findings revealed several factors contributing to the non-use of rear seatbelts, including lack of sufficient awareness of laws and regulations, incorrect behavioral and cultural attitudes, socio-economic influences factors, inadequate law enforcement and related organizations, and poor quality of seatbelts. Based on these findings, potential solutions were proposed, such as continuous education and awareness campaigns, improvements in seatbelt quality, and enhanced collaboration among relevant organizations to promote traffic safety culture. Education on the importance of seatbelt use should begin comprehensively in early childhood and continue into adulthood, with families playing a pivotal role in fostering this awareness. Conclusion: This study identified key factors influencing the non-use of rear seatbelts, including awareness of laws, cultural attitudes, socio-economic influences, and seatbelt quality issues. To address these challenges, the study recommended prioritizing ongoing education on seatbelt use, improving the quality of seatbelts, and fostering collaboration among traffic police, media, and educational institutions. These measures aimed to enhance traffic safety, increase compliance with seatbelt laws, and ultimately reduce fatalities and injuries resulting from road accidents.
