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

backgroundEffective communications and secure information exchange platforms during disasters and emergencies are among the significant factors in inclusive disaster management and can radically contribute to better preparedness, efficient and timely responsiveness, and, finally, maximal reduction of damages and fatalities. The present study was to compare communications and information exchange among disaster response organizations in selected countries. MATERIALS AND

methodThis applied research, carried out in 2022, was a qualitative descriptive-comparative study pursuing a content analysis approach. Australia, Turkey, India, America, Japan, and Iran constituted the statistical population of the study. The sampling was based on the countries' disaster histories and response experiences. The note-taking tool was used to extract and collect data during the review of texts, documents, and articles, and the qualitative content analysis method was employed for data analysis.

resultsThe outcomes of the descriptive-comparative analysis fell into four main comparative axes of the selected countries, including comparing reference, authority, and coordinator organizations in the response phase, comparing planning records and histories in disaster and emergency management comparing the contribution or non-contribution of government, military institutions, and non-governmental organizations to disaster and emergency management, the commonalities of the selected countries' disaster and emergency management and dependence on government.

conclusionThe results revealed that all selected countries depended on the government in managing disasters and emergencies, and the four communication platforms, i.e., landline telephone, mobile phone, radio communications systems, and couriers, were the common communication and information acquisition sources.
