Knowledge of Biosafety Among Workers in Private and Public Clinical and Research Laboratories in Morocco.

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
Introduction: This study was conducted to assess the biosafety knowledge among laboratory staff working in Morocco. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among all laboratory staff in public and private clinical diagnostic and research laboratories between December 5, 2018, and January 5, 2018. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire distributed via Google Form. Results: A total of 235 participants completed the study questionnaire with an estimated response rate of 19%. Overall, 79% of respondents had a high or intermediate level of knowledge. Only 17.4% had participated in prior formal biosafety training courses. The level of knowledge did not differ significantly with gender or activity sector, but it increased with work experience. Knowledge was generally intermediate for signage and principles of biosafety levels (42.1%), low for distinction between technical operations that could pose a risk by generating aerosols (30.2%), and high for wearing personal protective equipment and its components (92.8%). There was a very high level of knowledge on proper waste sorting (100%). Conclusion: These findings underline the need for establishing a biosafety policy and strengthening biosafety training programs in laboratories in Morocco.
