Global Health in Undergraduate Education: Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Sudanese Medical Students towards Global Health Education: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionGlobalization and other relevant phenomena such as healthcare workforce, ageing of the population, brain drain etc. all necessitate medical curricula to transcend national medicine and encompass a more global approach. This is especially true in the context of developing countries which currently act as passive recipients of ongoing global decisions, health inequities or pandemics. The aim of this research was to study the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Sudanese medical students towards global health education and the impact of extra-curricular activities on their knowledge and attitudes.
methodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional institutional based study. The study was conducted in five Sudanese Universities and participants were selected using systematic random sampling. An online-based, self-administered questionnaire was used, samples were collected between November 2019 until April 2020 and data was analyzed using SPSS version 25.
results1176 medical students were involved. The study revealed a poor level of knowledge among 72.4%, and only 2.3% of respondents revealed a good level of knowledge. Mean knowledge scores between Universities slightly vary and have shown positive correlation according to the grade of the medical student. Regarding attitude, the results demonstrated the high level of interest of medical students in global health, their agreement in including global health in their official medical education curriculum (64.8%) and their consideration of including global health as part of their future career (46.8%).
conclusionThe study concluded that there is a knowledge gap among Sudanese medical students regarding global health education, although students showed good attitudes and willingness to include global health in their official curriculum. RECOMMENDATIONS: Global health education should be implemented in the official curriculums of Sudanese Universities, and Universities should do global partnerships and increase the learning and teaching opportunities in this interesting field.
