Crossing life-saving thresholds: learning-forgetting trajectories in secondary-school basic life-support training: project threshold-beat.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. 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.
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
Introduction: Basic life support (BLS) training in schools is a public health priority, but long-term retention of basic knowledge is poorly understood. The objective was to quantify the learning and forgetting curves of six threshold concepts (TC) of BLS in secondary school students and examine demographic moderators. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was implemented in six randomly selected schools ( Results: The mean TC score increased from 40.5% (T0) to 67.3% (T1) (Δ = 26.8%, Discussion: BLS competence depends on a small set of transformative concepts that decay at differential rates. Quarterly micro-refreshers focused on agonal respiration recognition and AED sequencing are recommended to consolidate learning pathways beyond the liminal phase.
