Research attitudes, barriers, and prior experience: Experience from interns working in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Avicenna journal of medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to explore research productivity and attitudes by Saudi interns. MATERIALS AND
methodsInterns from two hospitals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were invited to participate in an online survey.
resultsFifty-seven interns responded to the survey. An accurate response rate is not possible because the invitation email reliably reached only a half of all 400 interns. Fifteen interns (26.3%) presented their research findings at a conference, and seven (12.3%) had managed to publish their findings. The main attractions to research were improving prospects of a successful residency/fellowship match (71.7%) and desire to learn more about the research subject (17%).
conclusionMost interns in our sample expressed interest in being involved in research. The driving forces behind such eagerness, however, remain to be explicitly explored-although the majority of the sampled interns cited improved chances for a successful residency/fellowship match as the main reason.
