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

Objectives: The 2025 training program for healthcare workers in emerging and bioterrorism-related infectious disease response was conducted to develop professionals capable of responding rapidly to outbreaks. This study analyzed the program's results, evaluated its effectiveness, and proposed future directions for improvement. Methods: The curriculum comprised 14 sessions divided into three basic and four advanced courses. The basic curriculum included a new 1-day intensive course on Level C personal protective equipment (PPE) donning and doffing. The advanced curriculum strengthened response capabilities through tabletop and field exercises. Effectiveness was evaluated using Level 1 and 2 of the Kirkpatrick Model, focusing on academic achievement, practical confidence, and knowledge improvement. Results: A total of 234 participants completed the program, achieving a completion rate of 101.7% of the target. Mean training satisfaction was high at 4.74/5. Academic achievement improved by 58.2%, practical confidence by 87.6%, and knowledge by 13.3%, with the greatest gain observed in practical confidence. In addition, a 100% pass rate in the Level C PPE assessment demonstrated improvement in practical competency. Conclusions: The program effectively improved both theoretical knowledge and practical competency. Practice-based education played a key role in enhancing training effectiveness. For the overall improvement of the program, expansion of simulation-based exercises needs to be considered.
