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

Objectives: This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of medical students in Lebanon towards disaster medicine. Methods: An exploratory online cross-sectional survey was conducted on 388 medical students from different educational levels and universities in Lebanon. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), considering a p-value of <0.05 as significant. Results: The participants had a mean knowledge score of 12.19 ± 4.04 out of 25 questions. Those who received a disaster medicine educational course (19.1%) had a higher knowledge score (p-value <0.001). There was a significant association between the knowledge score on one hand, and the confidence level of respondents (p-value of 0.003) and their willingness to enroll in a disaster medicine course on the other hand (p-values <0.001). Conclusion: It is evident that medical students in Lebanon possess a fair level of knowledge and a high attitude towards disaster medicine.
