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
Background: Assessing the current awareness levels of teachers and parents about basic life support is essential for identifying training gaps, obstacles to acquiring basic life support skills, and areas that require improvement. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes concerning basic life support among kindergarten and primary school teachers and parents in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia, involving teachers and parents of children enrolled in kindergartens or elementary schools, aged 18 years or older. Data were collected using a previously validated, self-administered Arabic questionnaire, distributed through an online link via social media Apps. The total knowledge and skills score was then calculated. Results: Most participants (70.3%) were parents, with ages ranging from 18 to 70 years and an average age of 35.1 ± 10.91 years. Female participants (59.7%) outnumbered males. Over half (53.3%) had no prior cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, and 55.6% had never witnessed CPR being performed. Approximately half (50.3%) demonstrated a fair level of knowledge, while 44.6% had poor levels, and only 5.1% achieved a good level. A significant association was found between previous CPR training and knowledge and skill levels ( Conclusion: This study identified substantial gaps in basic life support awareness and training among kindergarten and primary school teachers and parents in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia. Most participants exhibited either poor or average levels of knowledge, with critical deficiencies in CPR skills. Prior exposure to CPR training was significantly associated with higher knowledge and skill scores, underscoring the importance of accessible and structured training programs. The main barrier to training was a lack of awareness of available CPR courses. Nevertheless, the high level of expressed interest in future training highlights a strong potential for improving BLS competency through targeted educational initiatives.
