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
objectivesTo survey physicians' perceptions of their experience and awareness of institutional provisions that can potentially foster patient engagement (PE) in KSA.
methodsIn April 2017, an online survey was distributed to clinicians in KSA using Google Forms. The instrument contained questions about the physicians' awareness and experience of their institutions' provision of resources and support.
resultsThree hundred and twenty-five clinicians responded to the survey The results showed that 18.5% claimed that their institutions allowed online scheduling of appointments; 8.9% reported the institutions permitted contact between patients and physicians through email; 24.0% reported they provided patients with online access to health records and test results; 55.7% claimed they provided educational multimedia programming; and 74.8% confirmed they encouraged joint decision-making between physicians and patients. Only 34.5% of respondents claimed their institutions provided home visits for high-risk patients. Six of 10 respondents thought that such provisions would have positive outcomes for them and for their patients.
conclusionsClinicians are aware of and value provisions that foster PE. However, several institutions in KSA do not support or have provisions in place to foster PE. Male clinicians with longer durations of practice and those with higher administrative positions are more likely to value the importance of PE and support and use it in their practice.
