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

introductionOutreach athletic trainers (ATs) are a novel community-clinical linkage who connect high school students and family medicine practices. Our study quantitatively explored the relationship between students and ATs.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study, collecting data from students and parents/guardians at a preparticipation examination event in April 2024.

resultsWe recruited 79 unique participants (42 students, 37 parents/guardians). In a linear regression, parent/guardian trust in ATs, parent/guardian distrust in the health care system, student health literacy, and student age predicted student trust in ATs. Students were open to talking to ATs about concussions, headaches, and mental health concerns. DISCUSSION: Findings here indicate that ATs are trusted health professionals who are well positioned to support whole-person care and link students to family medicine and primary care.
