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
backgroundFireworks are widely used worldwide for their visual and auditory appeal. However, they pose significant safety risks, particularly to children and young adults, many of whom sustain serious injuries from exposure to these pyrotechnic devices. Given the preventable nature of such incidents and their associated challenges, this study aims to examine the epidemiological impact of injuries caused by fireworks during the Chaharshanbeh Soori ceremony in Fars Province.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included all individuals who experienced injuries between March 6, 2022, and April 4, 2022. Data were collected by emergency technicians affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics (mean ± standard deviation [SD] and frequency [%]) and analytical methods, specifically the chi-square test.
resultsA total of 79 individuals were injured, with a mean age of 19.4 ± 11.5 years. The majority of the injured were male (73, 92.4%). Most injuries (66, 83.5%) occurred unintentionally, and 9 patients (11.4%) reported headache as a symptom, while 7 patients (8.9%) experienced visual disorders. Among those who received treatment, eye injuries were the most common (17, 26.2%). A significant difference was observed in recovery based on the injured body part; hand injuries had the highest recovery rate (6, 42.9%), compared to other injuries (p less than 0.029).
conclusionsThe findings indicate that fireworks-related accidents during the Chaharshanbeh Soori ceremony predominantly affect teenagers and young adults, often occurring unintentionally. Given the significant physical, financial, and long-term consequences of these injuries, this study's results can inform policymakers in implementing preventive measures. Additionally, it highlights the need to raise awareness among the public and relevant authorities to ensure safer conduct of such ceremonies in the future.
