Implementing injury prevention strategies in community-based youth football: The role of parents, coaches, and organizational leaders.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The objective of the study was to gather perspectives and experiences of parents, coaches, and organizational leaders surrounding safety in youth football as it relates to roles and responsibilities of the coach. Parents (n = 13) and coaches (n = 10) of two youth football teams participated in separate, team-specific monthly focus groups to gather their perspectives and experiences surrounding youth football safety. Six organizational leaders participated in one-on-one interviews. Focus groups were coded in Atlas.ti. Interviews were summarized using methods of rapid analysis. Data from focus groups and interviews were integrated and analyzed for thematic content. Parents, coaches, and organizational leaders regarded the youth football coach's role as "so much more than football," often serving as role models, mentors, and father figures to athletes. Parents place trust in their son's coaches and expect them to have knowledge and skills necessary to coach football and teach proper skills to prevent injuries. Organizational leaders set expectations of coaches but recognized the coaches' autonomy in determining team activities and responsibility for safety. Coaches who teach techniques that are not aligned with current practices and coaches who prioritize winning over safety were identified as concerns for safety. Results demonstrate the important role coaches play in the personal and technical skill development and safety of youth football players and should be considered in the development and implementation of evidence-based strategies to improve safety in community-based sports.
