Mothers' knowledge and attitudes about newborn screening in Jordan.
Article in Journal of community genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
Newborn screening is an important public health program that helps save the lives of many infants worldwide. The aim of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to examine the knowledge and attitudes of mothers regarding the newborn screening test in Jordan. A convenient sample of 301 mothers of newborns was interviewed to collect data, using structured questionnaires about their knowledge and attitudes regarding the newborn screening. Most mothers exhibited positive attitudes toward the newborn screening. However, their knowledge about it was only moderate; their knowledge levels contributed positively to their attitudes to the test. The mothers' source of information about the test was a significant predictor for both their level of knowledge and attitudes toward the newborn screening. The healthcare providers, particularly nurses, were identified as the main source of mothers' information in Jordan. The educative role of the health professionals is key and should be better activated to optimize the outcomes of early newborn screening. Changes in current practices regarding mothers' education about NS is recommended to increase the knowledge and enhance attitude about NS among the mothers.
