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
backgroundInfection control is an essential component of healthcare and vital for ensuring the safety of patients and healthcare professionals. This study aims to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) among medical students in Jordan. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2024 among medical students enrolled in six Jordanian universities. Stratified random sampling was used to select participants across academic years (2
resultsOf 453 medical students, 58.1% demonstrated good knowledge, 75.5% positive attitudes, and 78.6% good practices toward infection control precautions. Females represented 67.5% of participants. Students with excellent and very good microbiology GPAs had higher odds of positive attitudes (OR = 3.89, 95% CI: 1.21-12.48;
conclusionInclusion of these practices in clinical curricula is essential to improve infection control. The most significant gap was the ability to perform a risk assessment correctly, which is critical to national Infection Control and Prevention policies. This is the first and largest multi-institutional study assessing KAP toward infection control among medical students in Jordan, highlighting the need for policy-aligned curriculum improvements to strengthen future healthcare competencies.
