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
Background: Medical personnel working in hospital disinfection and supply centers face high levels of occupational exposure to biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Assessing their awareness of these risks is essential for preventing workplace injuries and improving safety behavior. This study aimed to develop and validate the Occupational Exposure Risk Awareness Scale (OERAS) for healthcare workers in such settings. Methods: A cross-sectional psychometric validation study was conducted among 959 medical staff from disinfection and supply centers in Jiangsu Province, China. The 20-item OERAS was developed through literature review, expert consultation, and pilot testing, and it comprised four dimensions: Occupational Exposure Knowledge, Protection Measures, Incident Response, Training and Education. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, split-half reliability, content validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0. Results: The OERAS demonstrated high reliability, with Cronbach's α = 0.85 for the total scale, Spearman's Conclusion: The corrected OERAS exhibits strong internal reliability and construct validity, making it a robust and practical tool for measuring occupational exposure risk awareness among medical personnel. Although criterion validity was low/moderate, this reflects that awareness and knowledge are related yet distinct constructs. The OERAS can support targeted training and policy interventions to enhance occupational safety in healthcare environments.
