Patient Safety Awareness Among Medical and Pharmacy Students at Admission: A Comparative Study.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2025. 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
Purpose: Providing medical and pharmacy schools students with effective patient safety education is one of the important factors in improving the quality of health care delivery. To provide effective education, understanding the level of patient safety awareness among medical and pharmacy school students at the time of admission and implementing tailored educational approaches based on their characteristics are essential. This study was performed to measure and compare the level of patient safety awareness between medical and pharmacy school students at the time of admission, to aid in improving effectiveness of patient safety education. Methods: A total of 132 first-year medical school students and 367 first-year pharmacy school students enrolled at Teikyo University in 2019 completed an anonymous and self-administered questionnaire upon admission. The questionnaire included questions regarding the demographics of the participants as well as a translated and modified survey classifying patient safety awareness into "perception", "knowledge", and "attitude" which were evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale (Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.70). To assess overall patient safety awareness, we calculated the total scores for the three sub-constructs using a 5-point Likert scale-Strongly Agree (5 points), Agree (4 points), Neutral (3 points), Disagree (2 points), and Strongly Disagree (1 point)-and compared these scores between the two groups. Results: The total scores (mean ± standard deviation) were 104.2 ± 10.2 for medical school students and 97.2 ± 9.9 for pharmacy school students (mean difference: 7.1, Conclusion: Medical school students had a higher level of patient safety awareness than pharmacy school students at the time of admission, prior to receiving patient safety education.
