Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundPatient safety is an important aspect of healthcare system. Owingto improper training, there is high mortality and morbidity involved in patient care in hospitals worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the patient safety culture awareness among healthcare professionals in India. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in different hospital settings following Institutional ethical Committee approval. The study sample comprised of 1800 healthcare professionals (physicians, dentist, nurses, patient care assistants, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and hospital administrators) selected using nonprobability convenient sampling method. Hospital survey on patient safety culture developed by Agency Healthcare Research Quality professionals was used which comprised of thirty questions grouped in 11 dimensions including supervisor's/managerial expectations, actions promoting patient safety, organizational learning, continued improvement and hospital teamwork. Statistical analysis: The Pilot study was conducted using the SPSS Statistical tool software version 20.0 (IBM, NY) for testing the reliability of the questionnaire by usingthe Cronbach alpha test. The calculated sample size was found to be 100 for performing the pilot study. Cronbach alpha score of 0.734 was obtained which was indicative of study validity. Responses were recorded on 5-point Likert scale, i.e., 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neither agree nor disagree, 4 = agree, and 5 = strongly agree). The Chi-square test/goodness of fittest was usedfor determination of statistical significance of qualitative variables, while Chi-square and Mann-Whitney
resultsThe 'hands off' and transitions domain required demonstrated lower positive responses (35.56%). Higher positive responses were obtained from dimensions: teamwork within a unit (92.21%), organizational learning and continued improvement (89.49%), frequency of reported events (82.31%), and feedback and communication errors (69.19%). Least positive responses were obtained from two dimensions-(a) general perception (20.23%) and (b) nonpunitive response to errors (09.12%). On comparison between perception responses by use of'Chi-square' test, statistically significant difference (<0.05) was obtained between following variables-(a) perception regarding patient safety dimensions and position and (b) experience level of healthcare professionals.
conclusionThere is requirement of improvement in few domains to strengthen patient safety culture in India which can be done by means of training programs in hospitals.
