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
backgroundAwareness of institutional training regulations is essential for safe and compliant residency practice. Among first-year residents in the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) pediatric residency program, limited familiarity with OMSB bylaws was demonstrated. LOCAL PROBLEM: Despite the availability of OMSB bylaws through institutional platforms, first-year pediatric residents demonstrated limited awareness and understanding of key training regulations, which may affect their ability to navigate residency requirements and access available support systems.
methodsA quality improvement (QI) project was conducted among first-year pediatric residents. A flipped classroom intervention was implemented using pre-session learning materials followed by an interactive group discussion. Awareness of OMSB bylaws was assessed using a pre- and post-intervention questionnaire. Outcome measures included change in knowledge scores.
resultsAmong the 31 eligible residents, all participants completed both the pre- and post-intervention assessments, yielding a 100% response rate. The mean knowledge score increased from 58.2% at baseline to 80.7% following the intervention, corresponding to an absolute improvement of 22.5 percentage points and a relative increase of 38.7%. Awareness scores were higher after the intervention in eight of the nine policy domains.
conclusionsKnowledge scores improved following implementation of a flipped classroom intervention addressing OMSB bylaws among first-year pediatric residents. The intervention was delivered within existing teaching time with complete participation, indicating that the approach is feasible for residency onboarding programs.
