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: Investing in developing the research skills of medical students is crucial for improving the healthcare systems. This study assesses the knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and barriers to research as perceived by undergraduate clinical year medical students at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was used to assess the knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and barriers to research among clinical year undergraduate medical students at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. The study population included clinical-year medical students at Addis Ababa University, College of Health Sciences, from April 1, 2023, to August 1, 2023. The final sample size was calculated to be 244. Stratified random sampling was used to select study participants. On the basis of the strata, 99, 70 and 75 responses were expected from 4th year, 5th year and 6th year medical students, respectively. The selected participants were requested to fill out the Google forms. ANOVA and t tests were used to study the associations between knowledge score and age, sex, and year of study. Results: The average knowledge score ± SD of the participants was 43.1% ± 17.07%. There was no significant association between knowledge score and age ( Conclusion: Overall, in this study, knowledge of clinical year medical students on research was inadequate. While research was noted as crucial by majority of the students in this study, lack of opportunity, time, resources, guidance, and supervision were the major barriers faced by the participants. This calls for collective action by the college administration to work on investing more resources and providing research opportunities to medical students.
