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
objectiveSituational Judgment tests are recognized as a valid predictor of job performance. In the present study, the students' professionalism capabilities were investigated using the situational judgment test. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023-2024. The situational judgment test includes four scenarios in the faculty situation (classroom) and six scenarios in the workplace situation in the field (hospital and urban pharmacy) with the format of "selected-response format" examined. 160 pharmacy students in different academic years participated. The cut-off scorer of situational judgment test was determined using the Cohen method and the norm-reference method of standard-setting.
resultsThe results showed that the scores of students in the situational judgment test were reported as 14.13 ± 6.07. According to Cohen's method, the score of 60 pharmacy students (50%) is lower than the cut-off score. The cut-off score based on the norm-reference method of standard-setting showed that 33 students (20.6%) scored below the cut-off score. The results showed that the students who participated in the professionalism course scored an average of 2.62 higher than the students who did not participate in these training courses. (p-value = 0.015). The development of professional education as a longitudinal program in the pharmacy curriculum is suggested.
