Awareness and knowledge of diabetic retinopathy and associated factors in Goa: A hospital-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Purpose: To assess the awareness and knowledge about diabetic retinopathy (DR) and associated factors among patients visiting the tertiary health center in Goa. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using a standard predesigned and pretested closed-ended structured questionnaire to assess the awareness, knowledge, attitude and practice about DR among patients visiting a tertiary health center. Results: Three hundred and fifty-eight subjects participated in the study. Only 125 (34.9% [95% CI: 30.0-40.1]) subjects were aware of DR and 122 (34.1% [95% CI: 29.2-39.2]) had adequate knowledge about DR. Awareness and knowledge of DR were significantly high among the subjects who completed college level of education (66.7%, OR = 2.78; 95% CI: 1.73-4.48, P < 0.001 and 55.9%, OR = 3.92; 95% CI: 2.41-6.38, P < 0.001) and who spoke English (52.5%, OR = 3.37; 95% CI: 2.14-5.30, P < 0.001 and 50.4%, OR = 3.26; 95% CI: 2.07-5.14, P < 0.001). Christians reported better knowledge about DR compared to other religions (48.8%, OR = 2.27; 95% CI: 1.38-3.75, P = 0.005). Negative association was noted between the knowledge of DR and presence of diabetes (29.4%, OR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.41-0.99, P = 0.048). The practice pattern was strongly associated (OR = 7.47; 95% CI: 4.51-12.38, P < 0.001) with the knowledge of DR. Attitude was not influenced by any of the factors. Conclusion: We found that awareness and knowledge about DR were unsatisfactory; literacy contributed significantly toward it. These findings also suggest that there is an immediate need to enhance the awareness and knowledge of diabetic eye diseases in order to reduce the burden of visual impairment.
