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
backgroundIn Iran, the assessment and preparedness of households for disasters is managed by primary health care (PHC) staff through disaster risk reduction management programs (DRRMPs), particularly the disaster assessment of readiness and training (DART) program. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of health workers regarding household preparedness within this framework. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 423 health workers from Isfahan Medical Sciences University in 2023. Participants from various levels of health care attended training workshops and completed the household disaster preparedness index (HDPI) questionnaire, the (Federal Emergency Management Agency) FEMA questionnaire, and a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire. Targeted sampling was used for respondent selection, and data analysis was conducted using Spearman, Chi-square, and Mann Whitney U tests with SPSS 27.0.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 38.31 years, with 64.5% being female. About 70.1% had a bachelor's degree, and 44.2% had less than 10 years of work experience. Only 2.1% and 0.9% of respondents were classified as "Most Prepared" according to the HDPI and FEMA questionnaires, respectively. Knowledge was negatively correlated with attitude (r = -0.366). Statistically significant differences were found between practices and home ownership, education level, age, and work experience (all
conclusionThe findings reveal that health workers lack sufficient positive attitudes and performance regarding household preparedness in emergencies. Thus, a systematic framework is needed to enhance their knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to disaster preparedness (DP) for policy making in this area.
