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

objectivesTo measure stigma among doctors in one of the major specialized hospitals in Saudi Arabia.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at King Abdullah Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between October and November 2018. Eighty physicians were recruited in this study. The participants administered the sociodemographic questionnaire as well as the Mental Illness Clinicians' Attitude 4th version (MICA 4).

resultsThe overall MICA score ranged between 31 and 61 with a mean±SD of 45.75±7.54. The highest reported score was among outpatient physicians (51.33±6.66), while the lowest score was among consultants/assistant consultants (43.17±7.82).

conclusionThe results of this study showed a relatively high MICA-4 score that could indicate a high stigmatizing attitude among physicians toward patients with mental illnesses compared with the other MICA-4 studies. Thus, training workshops could improve the attitudes in the short-term.
