Knowledge and Attitudes of Medical and Nursing Students toward Noninvasive Prenatal Testing and Fetal Anomaly Scan.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundFetal anomaly scans and Noninvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) have become increasingly important in contemporary prenatal care. These advanced techniques provide valuable insights into fetal health and development, benefiting both healthcare providers and expectant mothers. By offering detailed information about potential anomalies and genetic conditions, they help guide informed decision-making throughout the pregnancy journey.
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to evaluate medical and nursing students' understanding of and attitudes concerning NIPT and fetal anomaly scans. MATERIALS AND
methodsRAK Medical and Health Sciences University's medical and nursing students participated in this survey. Students of all ages, male and female, participated in the study. A Google Form was used to gather the data, and the responses were logged.
resultsA total of 285 students voluntarily participated in this survey. There were 140 nursing students and 145 medical students. Both medical and nursing students had knowledge about fetal anomaly scans (47.37% and 5.26%). There was a notable change in answers and awareness regarding NIPT. The knowledge of medical and nursing students was at 47.02% and 43.22%. Both medical and nursing students had a good attitude about the tests and were optimistic about referring their future patients for fetal anomaly scans.
conclusionBoth the medical and nursing students know about the anomaly scan and NIPT, and they demonstrated a positive attitude and willingness to advise parents about these in their clinical practice. There is a need for continuous reinforcement of training about these modalities to see a difference in attitude and practice.
