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

Although horse riding is hazardous and injuries are common, young riders regularly engage in horse-related activities. To our knowledge, there have been no syntheses on youth horse-related injuries published during the past decade that employ a multi- and interdisciplinary research agenda (M-IDR) and that incorporate both quantitative and qualitative methods. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to (1) review studies on horse-related injuries among children and adolescents and (2) identify methodological and paradigmatic trends according to M-IDR. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist, we searched six databases (PubMed, SportDiscus, Scopus, PsycInfo, Sociological Abstracts and Web of Science) for studies on horse-related injuries among youth riders published between 1 January 2014 and 1 December 2024. The total sample included 1400 participants aged 0-17 years, of which 78.7% were girls. The main results present data on acute injuries in general and traumatic brain injury in particular. In terms of disciplinary insights, the study design and paradigmatic views predominantly reflect a positivistic worldview, employ quantitative methods and are consistent with previous literature reviews on equestrian sport injuries. Further studies are needed on the injuries that occur among young riders in equestrian sports. They should use an interpretivist approach to explore norms and attitudes towards injuries and risk-taking within the equestrian community, for example, how cultural predisposition influences safety equipment use among young equestrians in private stables.
