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 Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) represent a significant public health concern, contributing to mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs worldwide. Healthcare practitioners especially doctors play a vital role in identifying and reporting ADR. This study investigates the prevalence of knowledge regarding ADR among doctors and enhances it with educational intervention. It also explores the association between demographic factors and baseline ADR awareness. Methods A prospective cross-sectional interventional study was conducted among doctors in Ahmedabad, India, to evaluate their knowledge of ADR reporting and the effectiveness of an educational video intervention. Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires were administered to assess knowledge improvement. Statistical analysis, including paired t-tests and chi-square tests, was performed to evaluate the intervention's impact and explore associations between demographic factors and ADR awareness. Results Analysis of pre- and post-intervention questionnaires revealed a significant increase in correct response rates post-intervention, indicating the effectiveness of the educational video intervention. Demographic factors, particularly age, were associated with ADR awareness. Following the intervention, participants demonstrated an improved understanding of ADR definitions, WHO causality assessment, reporting mechanisms, and challenges faced by pharmacovigilance programs. All participants found the video helpful and expressed intent to share their knowledge post-intervention. Conclusion The results of the study suggest that educational video intervention can serve as an effective tool for understanding ADR concepts and pharmacovigilance practices. Moreover, the association of demographic factors, particularly age, with ADR awareness further emphasizes the importance of educational interventions in addressing specific population needs.
