1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Aims: Healthcare providers may need to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while patients are in the prone position. Healthcare providers (HCPs) must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position (PPCPR) confidently. This study aimed to assess HCPs' preparedness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position at specialized units in Jordan's healthcare sectors. Methods: In eight tertiary hospitals, a descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out. An online questionnaire was conducted among 332 HCPs who were employed in the operating room, intensive care units, or interventional procedure rooms. Results: The majority of HCPs (73%) exhibited poor preparedness, with only 25% showing excellent preparedness, and 2% displayed an average level of preparedness. The average preparedness score was 37.14 (SD = 38.840), indicating significant variability. A lack of targeted training was associated with lower preparedness levels. Notably, HCPs with Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training showed significantly higher preparedness. Conclusion: The HCPs in Jordan are poorly prepared to perform PPCPR whenever required. However, the study findings represent a significant step towards improving HCPs' preparedness to perform PPCPR. They serve as a baseline assessment and highlight the gaps in HCPs' readiness, which helps their organizations to develop and implement targeted training strategies and interventions. Incorporating this training into hospital orientation, training programs, and clinical guidelines is vitally important to enhance HCPs' capabilities for better outcomes.
