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

objectiveThis study aimed to develop an appropriate scale accessing healthcare students' and providers' humanistic professional awareness (HPAS-HSP).

methodsFollowing a literature review, stakeholder interviews, and panel discussions for item generation, 65 items for the HPAS-HSP scale were created based on a nine-point Likert scale, with 9 indicating "strongly agree" and 1 indicating "strongly disagree." A pilot study using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), with seven hundred twenty-five medical care students and providers in Taiwan as the total sample number of the study, was administered to examine the practicability of the HPAS-HSP scale. The statistics software SPSS and AMOS 24.0 were used to examine the psychometric properties of the scale, including internal consistency, convergent validities, discriminant validities, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.

resultsThe EFA resulted in 21 items in three factors, with 66.221% of the total variance explained: "personal integrity and accountability" (9 items; 51.763% of the variance explained), "sensitivity to others" (6 items; 8.667% of the variance explained), and "medical professional competence" (6 items; 5.791% of the variance explained). The Cronbach's alphas for the three subscales and the entire questionnaire ranged from 0.892 to 0.949. The CFA results yielded 20 items, with the same three factors, and demonstrated good model fit in the

conclusionThe statistical results demonstrated that the HPAS-HSP scale can be a measure to assess healthcare students' and providers' humanistic professional awareness.
