Red Cross first aid training and its effect on public first-aid competency: an empirical study of influencing factors.

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
Objective: To assess the level of first-aid competency among the public in Jingmen City after receiving Red Cross first aid training and to identify its influencing factors. Methods: From January to December 2025, a combined approach of offline training, questionnaire surveys, and skill assessments was adopted. A self-designed questionnaire on training awareness and a training support scale were administered to 2,897 residents in Jingmen City. Univariate and ridge regression analysis analyses were conducted to explore factors influencing first-aid competency. Results: Among 2,964 participants who underwent first-aid training, 2,897 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding a valid response rate of 97.7%. The residents' training awareness score was 3.79 ± 0.86, training support score was 3.60 ± 0.81, and the overall pass rate for training was 90.02%. The score for first-aid competency was 33.11 ± 6.91. Ridge regression analysis results showed that training awareness, training support, and occupation were influencing factors of first-aid competency ( Conclusion: Following primary Red Cross first aid training, the public demonstrated a moderate level of first-aid competency. However, notable discrepancies were observed, including uneven awareness of first aid importance and inconsistent mastery of knowledge and skills across participants. Future efforts should therefore focus on optimizing training content, instructional methods, and support mechanisms according to the identified influencing factors, with the aim of consolidating and enhancing public first-aid competency.
