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
Background: As part of the national COVID-19 preparedness efforts in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to overcome the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency rooms' (ERs) health-care providers were required by their health institutions to receive a triage training program (TTP) as well as involving on a disaster preparedness program (DPP) and/or participation in a mock drill towards disaster response. These efforts attempted to enhance skills of ER health-care providers to make triage decisions, and, consequently, improve patient flow in ERs during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the influence of these hospitals' educational efforts on the decision-making skills of ERs' health-care providers has not yet been reported. Purpose: To identify the effect of hospitals' COVID-19 preparedness educational efforts on triage decisions by ERs' health-care practitioners during the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A one-group posttest-only design was conducted in ERs of regional hospitals in which Triage Decision-Making Inventory (TDMI) was used to collect data. Results: About 78%, 70% and 78% of participants had taken TTP, DPP or were involved in mock drills, respectively. Skills of triage decision-makers in critical thinking and confidence have higher mean scores than cognitive and intuition skills. A positive relationship was found between TTP and participants' cognitive ( Conclusion: TTP may enhance triage decision-making abilities of health-care professionals and contribute in delivering rapid and safe care service during disasters.
