Farmers, Forestry and First Aid (F3A) and farmers' preparation for traumatic injury in the field.
Review in International journal of emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAgriculture is a high-risk industry in the United Kingdom, with disproportionate rates of fatal and serious traumatic injury. Farm workers face hazards from machinery, livestock, chemicals, and transport incidents, often in remote settings where emergency care is delayed. Existing first aid training is usually generic and does not reflect the specific risks of agriculture.
objectiveTo describe the development of Farmers, Forestry and First Aid (F3A), a trauma-focused first aid training programme for agricultural workers, and to evaluate participant reactions to the course.
methodsF3A was developed by clinicians and farming professionals using experiential learning principles and scenario-based training. The course covers basic life support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, automated external defibrillator use, and immediate management of severe trauma. Anonymous post-course feedback was collected from participants across 32 courses using a training evaluation form with Likert-scale and free-text responses.
resultsFeedback was received from 344 participants. Overall satisfaction was very high, with median scores at the top of the scale for all Likert items and 97% of respondents recommending the course. Free-text comments indicated that participants found the course practical, relevant to farm work, and effective in increasing confidence in responding to traumatic emergencies.
conclusionsF3A aims to address an important gap in rural trauma preparedness by providing agricultural workers with context-specific first aid training. Participant reactions were strongly positive, supporting wider delivery of the course and further longitudinal evaluation to assess skill retention and real-world impact.
