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.

It is essential to assess the level of adherence of students and graduates to the codes of ethics in order to determine the extent of education needs in this regard. Therefore, the present research aims to draw a comparison between the level of adherence to codes of ethics between midwifery students and graduates in the fields of midwifery and reproductive health department at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

It is crucial to note that the study included all-year midwifery students. The data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and one more questionnaire to assess adherence to the codes of ethics, which were made available to participants through Google Forms. Data were analysed using SPSS software statistics version (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). A significance level of 0.05 was considered significant for all tests.
resultsThe mean adherence to codes of ethics was 79.01 ± 14.80 for the students and 79.07 ± 14.55 for the graduate midwives. There was a significant difference in the overall mean score of adherence to the codes of ethics, professional commitments, and self-communication between the two groups of students and graduates (
conclusionAlthough ethics is addressed in midwifery education programs, it is required to put considerable emphasis on teaching codes of professional ethics to both the students and graduates. Additionally, an educational and clinical setting is required to identify errors and their causes so that it can help take steps towards adhering to codes of ethics.
