Population awareness of cardiovascular disease risk factors and health care seeking behavior in the UAE.
Article in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesWe aimed to determine the awareness, knowledge, and attitude of people residing in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Our aim was to further identify prospects to increase awareness of modifiable CVD risk factors and influence behavior.
methodsThis observational study was conducted in Dubai: a global city in the United Arab Emirates. Participants were selected using simple randomization approach in primary health care centers, and a questionnaire was implemented based on literature review.
resultsOut of 1020 individuals approached, 738 agreed to participate in the study (response rate of 72%).The majority of participants surveyed had good knowledge and attitude toward CVD (528, 71.5% and 445, 60% respectively); yet, poor/fair practice related to CVD risk factors (553, 75%). Predictive Margins of Knowledge Scores were significant for age (
conclusionsAlthough more than half of the current study participants had high knowledge and attitude toward CVD, their behaviors were not satisfactory. It is necessary to establish more effective educational interventions intended to promote positive health behaviors. Public health providers need to explain to the public that knowledge and proper actions regarding the reduction of risk factors are associated with reduced CVD and mortality.
