Attitude and Perception of Medical Graduates on Medical Ethics: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThe study aims to understand the current levels of knowledge and attitude of medical graduates toward medical ethics.
methodsA questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 138 medical graduates via Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS v20 and expressed as frequency and percentages.
resultsAmong the 138 medical graduates with a mean age of 26.25 ± 2.55 years, the vast majority (94.2%) of participants believe that medical ethics is either significant or highly significant in clinical practice. 57.2% medical graduates feel moderately assured about resolving ethical dilemmas, 97.8% agree or strongly agree that medical ethics should be an integral part of the medical curriculum. Most respondents (80.4%) felt they handled the ethical dilemmas adequately, indicating a general sense of competence despite the challenges faced. 39.9% participants believe the current medical curriculum does not provide sufficient training in medical ethics.
conclusionThis study concludes positive attitudes among medical graduates toward medical ethics and their perceived competence in handling ethical dilemmas. The insights from the study underscore the importance of contextually relevant and integrated approaches to teaching medical ethics that can better prepare graduates for the ethical challenges they will face in their professional lives.
