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
introductionGiven the potential risks involved in childbirth, patient safety is of utmost importance in maternity care.
aimTo compare the level of patient safety culture between physicians and paramedics in public maternity care structures in Sousse, Tunisia.
methodsAn observational descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among health professionals working in all public health maternities of Sousse, Tunisia. A valid Hospital Survey On Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was used to gather data, and a score was calculated for each dimension by taking the average of the positive response proportions per item.
resultsThe global response rate was 86.4%. Paramedics had a higher response rate compared to physicians (90.6% versus 62.1%). The overall scores for the ten dimensions of patient safety culture showed significantly higher scores for physicians compared to paramedics for the dimensions of "Expectations and actions of superiors regarding care safety" and "healthcare professional-patient relationship and safety culture" (88.43% versus 63.73%; p=0.027 and 75.38% versus 65.73%; p=0.041 respectively). Conversely, a significant difference was found in favor of paramedics compared to physicians regarding the dimension of "Management support for care safety" (37.3% versus 13%; p=0.019).
conclusionSignificant differences in patient safety culture scores among healthcare professionals. It suggest that efforts should be made to improve management support for care safety for physicians, while paramedics could benefit from increased attention to expectations and actions of superiors regarding care safety and healthcare professional-patient relationship.
