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

backgroundLittle is known about the associations between unintentional injuries from the perspective of parents and their children's bullying victimization. This study aimed to examine the links between parent-reported unintentional injury subtypes and student-reported experiences of bullying victimization from a school-based large-scale survey.

methodsA total of 30,386 students from 35 primary schools, 27 middle schools, and 6 high schools with available data on unintentional injuries, school bullying victimization, and covariates were included in this study. Multivariable and multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to scrutinize the association of 12 types of unintentional injuries with any type of school bullying victimization, as well as multiple types of bullying experienced concurrently.

results10 out of 12 types of unintentional injuries were found to be associated with elevated risks of bullying victimization, with children and adolescents whose parents reported being struck by thrown, projected, or falling objects demonstrating the greatest vulnerability to school bullying victimization, followed by accidental drowning and submersion, contact with sharp instrument, etc. And there was also a positive association between the number of unintentional injuries and bullying victimization. The associations varied among children and adolescents who reported the presence of multiple bullying.

conclusionsCertain types and cumulative circumstances of unintentional injuries of children and adolescents necessitate vigilant attention from parents due to the potential indication of bullying. Subsequent research should delve into the underlying mechanisms linking unintentional injuries to school bullying victimization, focusing on specific injury types to provide more targeted guidance for identifying bullying.
