1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aimed to explore Saudi Arabian medical students' perceptions of patient safety.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the College of Medicine, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in September 2019. The Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ III) was used to explore undergraduate medical students' attitudes towards and knowledge of PS. The main outcomes measured were the APSQ III's nine domains. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and students' attitudes were communicated as mean scores ± standard deviations.

resultsA total of 301 participants were included in this study (response rate: 85.75%). Six domains reflected a positive attitude while three domains showed a neutral attitude. The domain of 'team functioning' had the highest mean score (5.8) followed by 'working hours as a cause of error' (5.6) and 'error inevitability' (5.4). There was a significant difference between gender in the domain 'patient involvement in reducing error' (

conclusionMedical students were highly interested in PS and recommended implementing a comprehensive undergraduate PS programme to fulfil their educational needs.
