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

objectiveThe study was aimed at investigating occupational health hazards that midwifery and nursing students are exposed to during their clinical practice and their perceptions of occupational safety competence.

methodThe study included 289 midwifery and 458 nursing students. Data were collected using the Student Information Form and Occupational Health and Safety Perceived Competency Scale.

resultsDuring their clinical practice, students were most frequently exposed to sharps injuries. Most students who experienced an occupational accident reported the incident to more than one authority. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the factors predicting occupational safety competence perceptions were department, choosing the department willingly, perceiving the training adequate, and being aware of the occupational health and safety measures.

conclusionThis study identified that midwifery and nursing students are most frequently exposed to sharps injuries during clinical practice, primarily due to inexperience and inattention. Students who received adequate occupational health and safety training, chose their department willingly, and were aware of preventive measures demonstrated higher perceived occupational safety competence. The findings confirm that both educational background and personal factors significantly affect students' safety perceptions, highlighting the need for comprehensive and standardized occupational health and safety training in health education programs.
