Knowledge and attitudes regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation among Jordanian physical education students: a cross-sectional online survey.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine the knowledge and attitudes regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among Jordanian physical education (PE) students with and without CPR training, and the association between knowledge and attitudes.
designCross-sectional survey-based study. SETTINGS: Private and public universities in Jordan.
participantsA convenience sample of 372 full-time second, third and fourth-year PE students. OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcomes were levels of knowledge and attitudes towards CPR, measured using a validated questionnaire. Secondary outcomes included group comparisons (trained vs untrained) and the correlation between knowledge and attitude scores.
resultOf the 372 participants (mean age: 22.0±1.6 years; 51% female), 189 (51%) reported prior CPR training. Only 3% of students demonstrated high knowledge (>80% of correct answers), while 56% had low knowledge (<50% of correct answers). Trained students had significantly higher median knowledge scores (4) compared with their untrained peers (3), p<0.01. Item-level analysis of attitudes revealed that trained students were significantly more likely to perform mouth-to-mouth ventilation on individuals of the opposite sex (p=0.01), perform CPR despite fear of infection (p=0.01) and provide chest compressions to strangers (p<0.01). Weak but statistically significant positive correlations between CPR knowledge and several attitude items were observed (ρ=0.12-0.26, p<0.05).
conclusionCPR knowledge among Jordanian PE students was low regardless of training. Attitudes were positive, mainly among trained students. There is a need for a structured CPR education in PE that addresses cultural and psychological barriers to improve preparedness for emergency response in athletic settings.
