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

Background: Pedestrian injury is a global public health concern. Multi-level community-based health education campaigns offer promise to reduce the burden. The current study investigated the effect of a multi-level intervention based on the socio-ecological model (SEM) to improve pedestrian safety by training health worker supervisors in Iran, with the expectation that they would disseminate their learned knowledge more broadly in the population. Methods: Eighty-two health worker supervisors in Tabriz, Iran were randomized to an intervention or control group, with 41 assigned to each group. Participants in the intervention group received both live pedestrian safety education and offline training through a virtual WhatsApp group. Messages, pictures, and short videos about pedestrian safety were sent to participants, and solutions were discussed in the group settings. The control group had no training. Self-reported pedestrian behavior was assessed before and after the intervention. Results: At baseline, there were no significant differences between the intervention (82.48 ± 8.54) and control (81.05 ± 8.55) groups in pedestrian behavior scores (t = 2.01, Conclusion: Application of a multi-level intervention based on the socio-ecological model improved self-reported pedestrian behavior of health worker supervisors. Using multi-level interventions by targeting health workers, who then disseminate their learning to the public, could enhance pedestrian safety across society.
