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 most common reason people seek emergency medical services is pain, either from a severe injury or a life-threatening illness emergency medical services (EMS). Few studies on analgesic administration and pain management assessments are available for EMS students to read (as potential EMS professionals). Therefore, the goal of this study is to find out the knowledge and attitude of EMS students about pain management. Saudi EMS students were asked to complete a survey on their knowledge and attitudes about pain management. As a result, the KASRP scale was used. A t-test was performed to assess the statistical descriptive and independent sampling findings. Data collection started in October 2020 and lasted for one month. EMS students completed 79 questionnaires (response rate of 53%). According to the findings, EMS students demonstrate inadequate fundamental knowledge and attitudes in pain management. The mean correct count for the entire scale was 47% (SD=.09). The findings showed that no major variations were observed in the scores of students associated with demographic features. There are potential opportunities in the program to improve the content and student competencies in pain management.
