Evaluating teachers' knowledge and attitude toward food allergy and anaphylaxis: a pilot simulation-based questionnaire study in Rabigh elementary schools.

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: Simulation-based learning is an effective tool for educating teachers and school staff about anaphylaxis. This pilot exploratory study aimed to assess knowledge and attitudes toward food allergy and anaphylaxis policies and protocols in schools for the management of severe allergic reactions. Materials and methods: A simulation-based education program was conducted using a standardized case scenario in elementary schools in Rabigh, targeting teachers and staff from randomly selected schools. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed before and after the simulation using structured questionnaires. Paired pre-post responses ( Results: A total of 101 teachers and staff from six elementary schools participated, with 97 completing both pre- and post-simulation assessments. Recognition of key anaphylaxis symptoms improved significantly post-intervention, particularly for swelling of the lips, tongue, face, and eyes (55.4% vs. 79.4%) and shortness of breath (28.7% vs. 78.4%) (both Conclusion: This pilot exploratory study demonstrates that simulation-based education can significantly improve teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and readiness to manage food allergy and anaphylaxis. While the findings are promising, they should be interpreted with caution due to the modest sample size and single-city setting. Larger, multi-center studies.
