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: The Second Victim Phenomenon (SVP) refers to the emotional, psychological, and professional consequences healthcare professionals (HCPs) may face following adverse patient events. Despite its prevalence, awareness and structured education on SVP remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to further develop and evaluate an online course to increase knowledge and awareness of SVP among HCPs via a multidimensional evaluation approach. Methods: A structured e-learning course was developed on the basis of an extensive literature review and qualitative content analysis. Seven learning objectives organized into four thematic categories were integrated. The course was evaluated through semistructured interviews, which were analyzed on the basis of Mayring's qualitative method. After the course was adjusted accordingly, it was quantitatively evaluated, including pre- and postcourse knowledge tests and a course evaluation survey. Results: The interview feedback highlighted the relevance to clinical practice, strong structure, and interactivity, although participants recommended more practical examples and enhanced quiz feedback. After the adjustment, the knowledge score improved from a precourse average of 74.07 percent to a postcourse average of 87.96 percent [t(df) = 3.51, Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrated that a structured online course can effectively improve knowledge and awareness of SVP among HCPs. Broader implementation, including integration into healthcare curricula, may support early recognition and mitigation of SVP-related consequences.
