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
Introduction: Blood exposure accidents (BEA) represent a significant risk for healthcare workers. To enhance safety awareness, particularly among medical students, the "Room of Errors" may offer an innovative and effective educational approach. Objective: To assess the impact of the "Room of Errors" simulation on medical students' knowledge regarding BEA management. Methods: A pre-experimental study was conducted at the simulation center of the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse, including 63 students in the third level of the Second cycle of medical studies (SCMS3) who completed an internship in the occupational medicine department during the academic year2023/2024. Participants attended a simulation session of "room of errors" including seven intentional errors.An "error collection" sheet was used to identify these errors. A pre-test and post-test, each comprising 5 questions, evaluated participants' knowledge. Answers were classified as correct or incorrect. Results: All 63 students (100%) who participated to the simulation session were included in the study. Totally, 55.6% of participants were female, with a median age of 24 years. Participants have correctly identified an average of 5.8 errors (range: 3-7) with a median of 6 [IQR: 5-7]. Following the simulation, students demonstrated significant improvements in their knowledge compared to the median pre-simulation scores (4 [IQR: 4-5] vs 2 [IQR: 1-3]; p<10 Conclusion: The "Room of Errors" promotes reflective learning and enhances BEA prevention awareness. As an engaging and effective pedagogical tool, it may contribute to improving patient and professional safety.
