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 Early and practical education on naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication, is not commonly included in the curriculum of pre-clinical medical students. This study investigates how Opioid Overdose Response Training (OORT) improves opioid overdose recognition, naloxone administration, and opioid epidemic knowledge in pre-clinical medical students. Objectives This study aims to expand on the existing literature examining how OORT can supplement pre-clinical medical education regarding opioid reversal. Methods From 2022 to 2024, 187 pre-clinical medical students at the University of South Florida attended OORT with naloxone distribution. Students completed pre- and post-training surveys to subjectively rate their confidence and knowledge regarding opioid overdoses and naloxone administration. The Related Samples Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used to assess differences in median responses. The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare pre-training responses between participants with and without prior OORT experience. Results After OORT, participants showed significant improvement in opioid overdose recognition (
