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

Purpose: Health communication is the central social process that refers to the systematic dissemination of evidence-based health information to improve public health literacy and promote healthy behaviors. Medical students' participation in health communication is an effective way to improve public health. This study aimed to explore the current status and influencing factors of medical students' participation in health communication and offer specific suggestions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, an online self-designed questionnaire was distributed to medical students during August 2022 to September 2022. Group differences were assessed using the Chi-square test and the Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test. Results: A total of 314 medical students participated in the survey. The respondents demonstrate a high awareness regarding the importance of health communication. The top two public platforms for students to acquire and disseminate knowledge are WeChat public accounts and short video platforms. 66.56% (209/314) of respondents have participated in health communication. Among undergraduates, the primary barrier to participation is a lack of sufficient professional knowledge and clinical experience ( Conclusion: The respondents agree on the critical role of medical students in disseminating health science knowledge, but their engagement level needs to be improved. Medical students' health communication ability and participation require collaborative efforts from multiple parties.
