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

objectiveSeveral factors increase crash risk for teen drivers, including vulnerability to distraction and increased propensity to engage in risky driving behaviors such as smart phone use while driving (SPUWD). The current study evaluated the efficacy of an augmented LifeSaver smartphone app in reducing SPUWD among teen drivers and their parents.

methodObjectively collected app data and survey data were used to evaluate the app's effectiveness in reducing SPUWD and its usability and acceptability among teen drivers and their parents.

resultsData collected by the LifeSaver app revealed no significant decrease in overall SPUWD, however parents spent significantly less time using social media apps while certain features of the app were enabled.

conclusionsParents expressed reluctance to change their own distracted driving behavior but preferred that their teens not engage in that same behavior. This important finding suggests that anti-distracted driving interventions must target not only teens but families as a whole.
