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

purposeThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between radiation protection knowledge of health workers and their attitudes towards radiation. In this context, it was investigated how much knowledge health workers have about radiation safety and how this knowledge is associated with their attitudes towards radiation.

methodsA quantitative research design was used in this study. Using convenience sampling method, 309 health workers were included in this study. "Personal Information Form", "Radiation Protection Knowledge Scale" and "Radiation Attitude Scale" were used in the study. The data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program.

resultsA statistically significant difference was found between the radiation protection knowledge levels of the health workers participating in the study according to their occupational groups. It was observed that the support staff of health workers had a lower level of radiation protection knowledge than doctors and nurses. A positive relationship was observed between radiation protection and radiation attitude of health workers. In addition, a positive association between radiation protection knowledge and radiation attitude was also observed.

conclusionsAccording to the results of the study, an increase in health workers' knowledge of radiation protection is positively associated with their attitudes and behaviors regarding radiation safety. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
