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

backgroundAs precision medicine gains momentum, the traditional - One Size Fits All - approach to disease prevention and treatment is becoming less reliable. Medical education must prioritize equipping physicians with the knowledge to apply precision medicine effectively. The present study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers to precision medicine among medical students, interns, and physicians in Jordan. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn analytical cross-sectional study, using an online validated and reliable questionnaire to collect data, was conducted. The knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions related to precision medicine were assessed and explored for statistical associations. The strength of each association was further presented by calculating the Cramér's phi (φc).

resultsParticipants in the present study were 607 individuals, 55.5% were males. 29.6% of participants had low knowledge scores (marks between - 12 and 0). The strongest association was reported between knowledge score and primary care setting followed by age (φc = 0.27 and 0.29, respectively). Physicians at the Ministry of Health had the highest odds of a high knowledge score (OR = 5.3, 95% CI 2.7-10.2, P < 0.001). Most respondents (79.1%) would consider using genome-guided prescribing tools developed by researchers, with only (15.8%) deeming these tools clinically useless. Nevertheless, almost 78% of participants expressed concern regarding patient anxiety with test results. Students showed better perception than physicians (p = < 0.001), but Physicians were more confident to implement precision medicine (P = < 0.0001). Most participants (87.1%) considered expanding their knowledge in precision medicine. Physicians cited limited accessibility as the main barrier to adopt precision medicine (92.9%), while high cost was the primary obstacle reported by students (80.2%).

conclusionMedical students and Physicians share a positive attitude toward implementing Precision Medicine, but barriers must be overcome for successful implementation. Integrating precision medicine and genome-based technologies into medical education is necessary for its successful application in clinical practice.
