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

This study assessed infection prevention and control (IPC) compliance among allied health students during clinical practices and explored its association with knowledge, attitude and educational factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among allied health students using a self-administered questionnaire on IPC knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors of compliance. Among 635 participants (mean age of 21.3 (± 1.5) years; 79.5% females), 59.1% were classified as IPC compliant. Higher compliance was independently associated with greater knowledge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.09-1.23; p < 0.001), more positive attitudes (aOR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07; p = 0.004), prior infection-prevention training (aOR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.16-2.31; p = 0.005), and more seniority (aOR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.01-2.02; p = 0.045). IPC compliance among allied health students was suboptimal. Integrating recurring, practical IPC training into allied health curricula may enhance compliance and strengthen infection control in clinical education.
