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: To investigate the current status of humanistic care competency among standardized residency training (SRT) physicians and refresher doctor in prenatal ultrasound and to identify its associated influencing factors. Methods: Physicians and visiting physicians undergoing prenatal ultrasound SRT and refresher doctor at our institution between January 2022 and December 2025 were enrolled. Data were collected via a structured self-administered questionnaire. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were applied to identify factors independently associated with humanistic care competency. Multivariable models were adjusted for major confounders including baseline empathy, workload, and previous communication training. Results: A total of 160 participants were included in the final analysis. The mean total Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) score was 189.66 ± 20.56, with the Understanding (U) dimension yielding the highest mean subscale score (74.54 ± 10.31). CAI scores differed significantly according to the frequency of humanities-related training received during schooling and the frequency of active self-directed learning of humanistic care knowledge (both Conclusion: The mean total CAI score among prenatal ultrasound SRT and refresher doctor physicians and visiting physicians at our institution was 189.66 ± 20.56. Frequent active self-directed learning of humanistic care knowledge, receiving ≥3 sessions of humanities-related training during schooling, and higher JSE-HP, APGAR, and PSSS scores were identified as positive predictors of humanistic care competency. Strengthening targeted training programs and providing systematic guidance are recommended to enhance humanistic care competency among SRT and refresher doctor physicians.
