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

Occupational exposure to blood and body fluids (OEBBF) continues to represent an important public health problem due to the associated medical, social and economic consequences. Young healthcare workers are at high risk of OEBBF because of their lack of experience, hesitation before performing a task and the nature of the task performed. This study aims to comparatively evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions on OEBBF among students from the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Dental Medicine at Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania, during the 2021-2022 academic year in order to facilitate the adaptation of educational materials used in training programs. Out of the 911 students who completed the questionnaire, 55% (502) correctly identified hepatitis B virus (HBV) as having the highest risk of transmission after an OEBBF, with statistically significantly higher percentages among Dental Medicine students (152; 60% vs. 350; 53%;
