Exploring knowledge, attitude and confidence in point-of-care ultrasound among emergency physicians and radiologists in Jordan: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Emergency radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study explored POCUS knowledge, attitudes, confidence, barriers, enablers, and their associated factors among radiologists and emergency physicians in Jordan.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire-based study covered five sections: socio-demographics, knowledge, attitude, confidence, and barriers and enablers. Summary statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were performed.
resultsA total of 164 physicians participated, with an average age of 33.8 (± 7.69) years; 52.4% were radiologists and 47.6% were emergency physicians. Participants exhibited good knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Higher attitude scores (β = 0.28; p < 0.001) and having a POCUS machine (β = 1.70; p = 0.01) were associated with higher knowledge. Higher knowledge (β = 0.64; p < 0.001) predicted better attitudes, while attitude (β = 0.21; p = 0.01), specialty radiologist (β = 8.5; p < 0.001), age (β = 0.23; p < 0.001), and number of monthly scans (β = 0.01; p = 0.01) predicted confidence.
conclusionRadiologists and emergency physicians in Jordan demonstrated good POCUS knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Specialty and usage frequency influenced these factors. Future studies should explore training effects on skill acquisition. The study found different factors that are associated with knowledge, attitude, and confidence levels such as specialty, frequency of using POCUS, and the levels of knowledge, attitude and confidence. Future studies, including large prospective studies and/or experimental studies that examine the effect of training on skill acquisition among various healthcare professionals are warranted.
