2019 Writing Contest Post-graduate Winner: Fire Safety Behaviors Among Residential High-Rise Building Occupants in Hawai'i: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 2020. 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
The world's population is rapidly urbanizing. Today, the majority of people live in cities and many live in high-rise buildings. High-rise buildings pose many challenges with regards to occupant safety, including fire prevention and evacuation safety. The purpose of this study was to describe factors that influence fire safety behaviors among residents of high-rise buildings and the strategies that population health nurses can use to support health education for people living in high-rise environments. An exploratory, descriptive qualitative research design with purposive sampling was used. Twelve residents from 8 high-rise buildings in Honolulu, Hawai'i participated in this study. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted and recorded, followed by thematic analysis of the interview transcripts. Five key themes emerged from the study: (1) attitudes towards fire safety, (2) building fire safety culture, (3) perceived ability to prepare for fires, (4) intentions to prepare, and (5) occupant fire preparedness behaviors. Gaps in knowledge regarding high-rise building fire safety were identified that contributed to residents' risk and vulnerability. Fire safety is of relevance to all nurses who work with populations. Population health nursing practice addresses the health, safety, and emergency preparedness needs of clients and communities. More research should be done to improve understanding of fire safety behaviors among high-rise residents to help population health nurses and other professionals mitigate the risk of fire in residential high-rise buildings and keep individuals and families safe during actual emergencies.
