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

backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the immediate and 12-month effects of community-based first-aid training on public knowledge and attitude, assess satisfaction, and identify factors associated with score changes.

methodsThis was a prospective study. In 2022-2023, a total of 2,010 community residents in Hainan Province received first-aid training and completed structured questionnaires at baseline, immediately after training, and at 3, 6, and 12 months after training. First-aid knowledge was assessed through 33 items, with a maximum total score of 33. First-aid attitude was evaluated using seven items, totaling a maximum score of 21. Satisfaction was measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Paired-sample

resultsThe satisfaction score with the training was high (mean score>4.3 for all items). The first-aid knowledge and attitude scores increased significantly after training (first-aid knowledge at baseline, 14.90±7.63; immediately after training, 20.70±5.72,

conclusionCommunity-based first-aid training improved public first-aid knowledge and attitude and was well received by participants. While knowledge levels declined somewhat over time, attitude remained relatively stable, highlighting the importance of continuous reinforcement training. Personalized reinforcement strategies may be particularly beneficial for individuals with lower levels of education, specific professional backgrounds, widowhood, or prior training experience to further enhance training effectiveness.
