Preventive Training among Medical Interns in Mexico City and Its Association with Needlestick and Sharp Injuries - A Cross Sectional Study.

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
introductionMedical students are a vulnerable group for the acquisition of blood borne pathogens due to their lack of experience. In Europe and Asia preventive training programs have reduced accidental exposures.
aimThe aim of the study was to compare the lifetime prevalence of Needlestick and Sharp Objects Injuries (NSIs) among medical interns who received preventive training versus those without such training in Mexico City. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn 2013, a cross-sectional study was performed applying an anonymous self-administrated questionnaire. The study population included 467 medical students, male and female, at the end of their internship. The lifetime prevalence of NSI was estimated and compared between students who had received preventive training and those who did not.
resultsThe overall lifetime prevalence of NSI was 58%. Lifetime prevalence was higher in students without preventive training compared to those who had such a training (68% vs 51%; p value= 0.002). NSI Lifetime prevalence was not associated with sex, age or place of birth. The task most commonly associated with the latest NSI in trained and untrained students was withdrawing blood.
conclusionNSI are frequent accidents among medical students in Mexico City, especially during blood taking. Training units on how to prevent NSI should be encouraged in Mexican medical colleges.
