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

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitude regarding advanced cardiac life support among healthcare workers, 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2022 among healthcare workers who were working in Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. All physicians and nurses who were willing to participate this study were involved. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were entered into the statistical software Epi Data version 4.6.0.4 and analyzed with statistical package for social science version 26. Logistic regression analysis was used to differentiate the effects of each independent variable on the dependent variable. Results: Among the total study participants (400) with a response rate of 96%, most (238) (59.5%) healthcare workers (nurses and physicians) had poor knowledge toward advanced cardiac life support. Two hundred twenty-five (56.25%) healthcare workers had positive attitude. Being a physician, having more than 6 years of work experience, working in an emergency department for more than 10 years, and having advanced cardiac life support training all contribute to superior knowledge of advanced cardiac life support. Conclusion: Most healthcare workers, especially, nurses, have under estimated knowledge and a negative attitude toward advanced cardiac life support. This implies they require knowledge building and attitude empowerment regarding advanced cardiac life support. Being a physician, having training in advanced cardiac life support, having work experience of more than 6 years, and working in an emergency unit for more than 10 years were positively associated with better knowledge of advanced cardiac life support among healthcare workers.
