Preparing to Play With Fire: Exploring Bushfire Preparedness and Risk Communication Among University Students in Australia.

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
backgroundWith extreme weather events expected to increase due to climate change, it is essential to understand bushfire preparedness among young adults in Australia, who often risk their safety by driving through bushfire-risk areas when travelling in summer. The current study investigates the knowledge of bushfire risk management and preparedness among university students in Australia.
methodsOne hundred and forty-eight university students participated in an online survey with closed questions. The data was analysed in SPSS by conducting a descriptive analysis and χ
resultsOver half of respondents who currently live or have lived in a bushfire risk area do not have a written bushfire response plan. Although most respondents reported that they had previously learned about the risk of bushfires in Australia, less than 20% knew the Australian emergency contact number, triple 0 for bushfires. A majority of those who experienced an evacuation fully understood the fire severity scale sign, but only half of those who had not experienced an evacuation fully understood the sign. SO WHAT?: Relevant authorities and Australian universities could consider these findings and provide university students with appropriate information to prepare them for future bushfires.
