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

RESEARCH

objectiveAccidents are a leading cause of preventable deaths in many countries around the world. Non-fatal but disabling health consequences account for a significant portion of the injury and harm resulting from accidents. The concept of a Safe Community has been introduced to systematically enhance community safety. This study aims to explore the characteristics of implementing a Safe Community program in different countries. METHODOLOGY: This study involves a qualitative systematic literature review of existing research and documents related to the Safe Community program and the designation of safe communities. Qualitative and non-statistical methods were employed to synthesize, assess, and interpret the findings. Data was collected from English databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar) until the end of 2022. Content analysis was used to integrate the findings, and a coding technique was applied to categorize the data based on content, process, and evaluation.

resultsFollowing data extraction, 46 articles were identified for qualitative analysis. We grouped the process of establishment into three main categories and several subcategories based on the content, process, and evaluation of safe community programs. Stakeholders of the Safe Community program were classified into government, private, international, and non-governmental stakeholders. Additionally, we identified five groups of challenges: economic, infrastructural, informational, political, and supervisory.

conclusionIn general, the characteristics of establishing a safe community are similar across different countries; however, specific initiatives have been tailored for each region based on the local community's conditions.
