Knowledge, attitude, and practice of CPR and willingness to perform it among undergraduate medical students of Najran University, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
AIM/
objectiveWe aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of CPR and willingness to perform it among undergraduate medical students of Najran University, Saudi Arabia.
backgroundMedical students should possess good knowledge of CPR as they would be expected to encounter emergencies requiring CPR.
designThis cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students of Najran University, Najran, Saudi Arabia, from November 2021 to January 2022.
methodsThis prospective cross-sectional study was carried out between November 2021 and January 2022. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. According to Bloom's cut-off points, the participants' knowledge was categorized as poor, moderate and good, and attitude as negative, neutral and positive.
results258 medical students responded to the questionnaire giving a response rate of 77.71%. The participants obtained a mean knowledge score of 6.34 ± 2.17 out of 10. 45% and 35.1% of participants were found to have moderate and good knowledge of CPR. The highest CPR knowledge was observed in medical interns. The participants achieved an average attitude score of 42.12 ± 6.78 out of 50, and about 75.2% showed a positive attitude towards CPR. 55.81% reported attending CPR sessions in their curriculum, and only 21.3% had ever performed chest compressions on a patient who collapsed. The majority of the participants were willing to perform CPR in an emergency.
conclusionThe medical students should be provided with regular CPR courses and refresher training during their graduation. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
