Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. 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.

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: Hospital safety is very important, particularly in preparing for internal disasters such as fires, power outages, and chemical exposures, which can significantly disrupt hospital functions and endanger patients and staff. Study Objective: This study aimed to assess the readiness of the Security Forces Hospital in Riyadh to effectively manage internal disasters. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate hospital staff awareness, perception, knowledge, and preparedness regarding internal disasters. Data were collected through a structured survey. The study analyzed associations between awareness levels, work experience, and participation in disaster training programs. Results: Results showed that there is a generally high level of awareness, but gaps remained in disaster response training and knowledge of emergency protocols. Arabic-speaking respondents showed lower awareness compared to English speakers, while employees with less than five years of experience were more aware of internal disasters but lacked knowledge of the hospital's emergency plan, with limited planning courses and evacuation drills. Conclusion: To enhance disaster preparedness, regular evacuation drills, structured training programs, and multilingual educational materials should be implemented. Standardizing emergency information on staff ID cards, improving accessibility to disaster protocols, and increasing awareness campaigns will strengthen overall readiness.
