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

Background: Emergency education is a critical component of medical training, enabling students to effectively respond to urgent and life-threatening situations. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of medical students regarding prehospital emergency care, and to explore the factors influencing these dimensions. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between September 1 and October 10, 2024, at Wannan Medical College in Anhui province, southeastern China. Participants were selected using a stratified cluster sampling method. Data were analyzed using independent samples Results: A total of 452 medical students completed the survey, with 439 valid responses included in the final analysis. Among the participants, 213 were male (48.50%) and 226 were female (51.50%). The mean scores for emergency knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 23.17 ±4.43, 18.20 ±3.76, and 13.68 ±2.71, respectively. The SEM analysis revealed that knowledge had a significant positive effect on attitude (β=0.831, Conclusion: This study underscores the pivotal mediating role of attitudes in linking emergency knowledge to practice among medical students. Enhancing emergency knowledge through targeted educational interventions, alongside fostering positive attitudes, may effectively improve students' engagement and performance in real-life emergency care situations.
