Evaluation of bleeding control course for health-care providers in Japan.

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
aimThe Bleeding Control Basic (BCon) course was developed by the American College of Surgeons to teach laypeople and health-care providers (HCPs) how to stop life-threatening bleeding. The first BCon course in Japan was held for HCPs in July 2018. Our study aimed to evaluate the utility of the course, the satisfaction and confidence level of the HCPs that participated, and their experience with using vascular tourniquets.
methodThe BCon participants were asked to complete a survey after the BCon courses from December 2018 to December 2019. These participants included different types of HCPs (physicians, nurses, and emergency medical technicians). After the course, the participants were asked to evaluate: (i) the perceived utility of the course, (ii) their satisfaction with the course, (iii) their confidence in the techniques that they learned in the course, (iv) their experience of using tourniquets in eight specific areas using a 10-point Likert scale.
resultsA total of 163 HCPs, including 108 physicians, 27 nurses, and 28 emergency medical technicians completed the BCon course. The respondents rated the course highly, showing an average value of approximately 9 for each item for perceived utility, satisfaction, confidence, and experience in using tourniquets. In particular, nurses rated the overall activity more highly than physicians (
conclusionThe BCon course and tourniquets were well-received by all types of HCPs in Japan.
