Effects of the Hazardous Area Response Team Training Program on the Knowledge and Confidence in Operational Skills of Prehospital Emergency Medical Personnel in Thailand: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in Open access emergency medicine : OAEM, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Hazardous areas are places emitting hazardous materials, terrorist- or war-related, which lead to public health risks in developed and developing countries globally. Hence, prehospital emergency medical personnel who work as frontliners should be trained. Patients and Methods: Data via pretest, posttest, and questionnaire surveys regarding the HART's knowledge of and confidence in operational skills were collected using the 5-point Likert scale. The cohort included prehospital emergency medical personnel aged >18 years. The training program comprised lectures, practicals, and examinations and included three subcourses: emergency medicine in the chemical, biological, radiation, and nuclear hazardous area (EM-CBRN) course; Thailand Tactical Emergency Medical Service (TTEMS) course; and cooperation and preparation for disaster (CPD) course. Results: The HART's mean multiple choice question (MCQ) posttest knowledge score (12.80±3.11) was significantly higher ( Conclusion: The HART training program significantly affected the HART's knowledge development and confidence in operational skills, particularly the frontline prehospital emergency medical personnel. Therefore, prehospital emergency medical personnel should undergo training, and learning activities must be developed to reinforce capacity and improve knowledge and confidence.
