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: Bystander-initiated Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) strongly influences the Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival outcomes; but substantial disparities persist in knowledge levels and willingness to perform CPR. This study aimed to evaluate the CPR knowledge and willingness of bystanders to perform standard versus hands-only CPR among Jordanian adults. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated questionnaire developed in accordance with American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. The questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics, prior CPR training, knowledge (10 items), and willingness (attitude) of bystanders to perform CPR (12 items). Descriptive statistics were used to present the findings, while chi-square and McNemar tests were used to compare groups. Results: A total of 1,242 participants with a mean age of 27.38 ± 9.3 (range: 18-70) years, completed the survey (65.6% female). The mean knowledge score was 4.2 ± 2.3 (range: 0-10), with trained individuals scoring significantly higher than untrained participants (6.1 vs. 3.2, p<0.001). Trained participants exhibited greater willingness to perform CPR across all scenarios (p<0.001), whereas untrained individuals showed higher willingness to provide hands-only CPR, particularly for strangers and neighbors (p<0.01). Males were significantly more inclined to perform CPR across all scenarios (p<0.01), whereas females were more willing to provide hands-only CPR in certain scenarios (p<0.01). Nevertheless, most of the differences became statistically insignificant after restricting the analysis to respondents who witnessed a cardiac arrest event. Conclusion: Trained individuals showed higher levels of willingness, yet untrained participants demonstrated unexpected willingness to perform hands-only CPR, while female participants were consistently less willing to perform standard CPR. However, sensitivity analysis restricted to respondents who had witnessed a cardiac arrest showed that real-life exposure substantially reduces hesitation and narrows group disparities.
