Effectiveness of a standardised and interactive intervention to prevent preschooler unintentional injury in rural China: a cluster randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in BMJ global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionPrevious interactive education interventions for child injury prevention are suboptimal for implementation in rural areas. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a standardised school-based interactive education intervention to prevent unintentional injury for rural preschoolers.
methodsA 9-month single-blinded cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted in rural China, involving 12 preschools with 2518 preschoolers aged 3-6 years old. The control group received routine education, and the intervention group added the standardised Safety Experience Room intervention. The primary outcome was unintentional injury incidence rate among preschoolers during the 9-month period. The secondary outcome was the proportion of preschoolers correctly answering questions about the prevention knowledge of road traffic injury, falls and drowning. Principal data analyses were conducted using an intention-to-treat approach. Adjusted ORs (aORs) with 95% CIs were calculated based on generalised linear mixed models and bootstrapped SEs with 1000 replications. Sensitivity analyses were employed based on the full analysis set to assess the impact of missing values on principal findings.
resultsCompared with the control group, the intervention group had a significantly lower unintentional injury incidence rate (aOR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.94) and higher proportions of correct answers to the 18 injury prevention questions (with aORs ranging from 1.78 to 22.10) after adjusting for socio-demographic factors and baseline values of the outcome variables. Sensitivity analyses supported the principal findings.
conclusionThe 9-month interactive intervention decreased unintentional injury incidence and substantially increased preschooler's safety knowledge in rural China, offering an effective option for implementing or integrating in multifactorial interventions in resource-limited areas.
