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

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of medical students towards rational drug use (RDU). Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 993 medical students between March and June 2023. Sociodemographic data form and rational drug use scale (RDUS) were used to obtain research data. Results: The students' average RDU knowledge level score was 37.7 ± 5.7, and the rate of those with a high knowledge level was 85.5%. The knowledge level of RDU was higher in female ( Conclusions: It is obvious that the concept of RDU is one of the topics that medical students should know. Therefore, it is very important to provide adequate and effective education regarding this concept in medical faculties.
