Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundConsidering the obvious and important role of social determinants of health on health outcomes and the mission of medical universities in explaining it, the aim of this study was to determine the awareness and attitude of the medical universities students and professors toward social determinants of health. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis descriptive-survey study was conducted on the students and professors of Isfahan and Kashan Universities of Medical Sciences in fields related to social determinants of health and at different educational levels in the years 2020-2021. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire of awareness and attitude. Data were reported by descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.
resultsThe average percentage of correct answers to awareness questions was 44% by professors and 33.3% by students. The overall mean score of professors' attitude toward social determinants of health was 2.48 and students' attitudes were 2.65 out of 5. Professors' awareness about social determinants of health was more than students and their attitude was less positive than students.
conclusionConsidering that a significant percentage of effective factors in health outcomes are social determinants of health and bearing in mind that universities, especially medical universities in providing healthcare, maintaining, improving, and promoting the health of the community, and also training the necessary human resources in the health sector to provide services play an important role, officials and decision-makers in the Ministry of Health and universities should decide to define this issue in the educational curriculum as well as holding related workshops.
