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

Objective: Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic virus responsible for the 2022 global outbreak. It remains a significant public health concern due to its epidemic potential and implications for preparedness. Assessing health professional candidates' understanding of Mpox is critical, particularly in light of the knowledge gaps observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of knowledge and awareness regarding Mpox among students and graduates from Vocational Schools of Health Services in Türkiye, based on data from two study centers. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted between October 2024 and January 2025, included students and graduates from the Vocational Schools of Health Services of two universities in Türkiye. A validated 28-item online survey assessed sociodemographic characteristics, Mpox knowledge, and awareness. Regression analysis was applied to assess the relationship between knowledge and awareness. Results: A total of 1005 students and graduates were included in the study. Participants exhibited high levels of knowledge and awareness. Higher awareness was associated with obtaining information from health institutions (β=0.26, Conclusion: Our findings emphasize the importance of strengthening Mpox-related education among future healthcare professionals to enhance preparedness for emerging infectious diseases.
