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
backgroundThis study examined the validation of a survey instrument to assess attitudes toward professionalism based on the opinions of clinical teachers in Iran and localized it.
methodsThe research is applied-descriptive, that is conducted in two stages: qualitative and quantitative. Fifteen expert professors in the field of professionalism from Iranian universities of medical sciences participated in qualitative stage by Delphi. sampling method was purposive. In the quantitative stage, using simple and quota sampling method, 82 samples were collected from all clinical professors of first ranked universities of medical sciences. We used "The Penn State College of Medicine Professionalism Questionnaire"( PSCOM) as a basic questionnaire. Its validity assessed by Delphi and survey. Some items changed, deleted and added. Then it confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Data analysis was performed using one-sample t-test and SmartPLS software.
resultsSeven dimensions and 48 final indicators were approved and all 7 dimensions were in good condition. Among the approved dimensions, "the enrichment" with a factor load of 0.238, was the biggest factor in measuring the variable of professionalism. The dimensions of "respect", "responsibility", "altruism", "duty", "honor, honesty and justice", "respectively" with factor loads of 0.215, 0.212, 0.163, 0.146, 0.106 and 0.047 are ranked in order.
conclusionthe most dimensions in PSCOM are accepted by experts and teachers, but there are many differences in details. If we want to have an accurate tool for measuring attitudes toward professionalism, then, it is necessary to study localization and validation of instrument to assess attitudes toward professionalism in every new community. Delphi and factor analysis could be useful for assessing tool in new community.
