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

Background: Chemotherapy safety guidelines have been enacted to minimize their side effects on healthcare providers when handling medications. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of an educational intervention on healthcare workers' compliance with chemotherapy safety guidelines. Methods: In this study, we used a quasi-experimental, pre-post testing design. It was conducted in the Oncology center at King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All healthcare workers involved in the preparation and administration of chemotherapy medications in KSUMC were invited. We evaluated Educational intervention to ensure the compliance of healthcare workers with standard safety guidelines through a questionnaire with 29 questions in total. Results: Fifty-two participants were eligible in this study. Overall, the score for mean compliance with workplace guidelines among the participants increased from 17.62∓0.78 to 18.17∓0.80 out of 19. Multiple liner regression indicates that there are no variables among the included variables predicting a change in post-intervention. Conclusion: This study indicates that educational intervention is the only effect of compliance in the included sample. Education safety training could improve healthcare workers' knowledge and consequently improve their compliance in the preparation and administration of chemotherapy medication.
