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
Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving skill for healthcare workers. Understanding their attitudes towards CPR training is essential for improving emergency response capabilities. Objective To assess the attitudes, perspectives, and preparedness of healthcare professionals regarding CPR training and its practical implementation in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online structured questionnaire. The study targeted a sample size of 400 healthcare workers. The questionnaire was adopted using a forward-backward translation protocol and pretested for validity. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 27 (Released 2020; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States), employing descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis tests for statistical differences. Results Among 172 healthcare workers surveyed in Qassim, Saudi Arabia, 95.9% had prior CPR training. While participants generally reported confidence in basic CPR tasks, 55.2% expressed fears when performing CPR, primarily concerned by unsuccessful outcomes (39.0%) and causing rib fractures (23.3%). Despite these apprehensions, 89.0% indicated they would not delay or avoid performing CPR. Participants demonstrated a strong commitment to CPR, with high willingness to perform it on family members (81.4%), colleagues (69.8%), and the public (66.9%). They strongly endorsed increasing public awareness activities (73.8%) and making CPR courses freely accessible (69.2%). The median perceived difficulty level for learning CPR was three on a 10-point scale. Conclusion Healthcare workers in Qassim demonstrated a strong commitment to CPR, despite some apprehensions. Recommendations for improving CPR training and public accessibility were identified, which could inform policy development and enhance emergency care outcomes in the region.
