Enhancing family physicians' clinical research skills at Cairo University: an evaluation of knowledge transfer and perception of an online training.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundClinical research is an important academic function for maximizing the health benefits of interventions. This growing field requires creative trials to build expertise for health researchers and practitioners simultaneously.
objectiveThe purpose of this research was to assess the impact of clinical research training on the knowledge of family medicine postgraduate trainees.
methodsA quasi experimental study was conducted on 49 family medicine master's and MD candidates in the family medicine department, Cairo university. Knowledge about clinical research was assessed before and after enrollment in the "Fundamentals of Clinical Research" online course. The trainees' feedback about the course was assessed using an evaluation form.
results49 participants' responses were analyzed. They had a mean (± SD) age of 35.4 (± 8.7) years and 10.2 (± 8.7) years of practice. The majority were female (93.9%). Over 60% were engaged in clinical research projects. Feedback showed high satisfaction and pre-post comparison showed statistically significant increased knowledge scores in most areas, except research questions.
conclusionsThe "Fundamentals of Clinical Research" training course increased knowledge scores among participants, and high satisfaction was reported. However, further exploration is needed to address the long-term impact on their career benefits and clinical decision skills.
