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 assess knowledge and attitudes about do not resuscitate (DNR) among patients and their relatives visiting outpatient clinics at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

methodsA cross-sectional study conducted between March and April 2018 with a self-administered questionnaire among patients and their relatives visiting outpatient clinics at KAUH. A systematic random selection of individuals every other day.

resultsThe questionnaire was filled by 400 participants. Fifty-four percent were patients' relatives, and approximately 60% were female. Out of 105 (26.3%) who were familiar with DNR term, 44.8% chose the correct definition, 5.2% had previous experience with the DNR term, and 34.3% of them had DNR-related knowledge from social media. Out of the 400 participants, 169 (42.3%) disagreed with DNR. The majority of responders did not know if there is DNR policy or fatwa (a legal opinion on the point of Islamic law).

conclusionThere is a lack of knowledge regarding DNR among participants.
