Every recorded effect, on one scale
Each row is one number from one study, as the source stated it, with its confidence interval where the study gave one. Rows of a kind share a scale so they can be read against each other. Nothing here is pooled and nothing is converted, because the studies measured injury in different ways and a meta-analysis across them would say less than the rows do. A number that could not be placed on a scale is listed at the end as reported.
Ratios 115
Odds ratios, hazard ratios, rate ratios and standardised mortality ratios, on a log scale. The line at 1 is no difference. A value to the right is a higher rate in the injured or the justice-involved group, whichever the study compared.

Each value is copied from the record's reported effects, which in turn quote the source. A row's study link opens the full record, with the finding in context, the limitations as stated and, where the finding is contested, who disputes it. Effect sizes recorded without an interval are counted in the methodology's register of what the review does not yet meet.
