Limited Public Knowledge of Chronic Kidney Disease in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The general public's awareness and knowledge of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its risk factors remains low, which may contribute to the development of CKD and undiagnosed disease. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess public knowledge of CKD in the Ethiopian community using a validated tool. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. For administrative purposes, the city is divided into ten sub-cities; proportional numbers of study participants were drawn from each sub-city based on their total population size. This study's target population was the general public, and health professionals were excluded. SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data, and frequencies, tables, percentages, mean, and standard deviation were used to describe the responses of the participants. To identify factors associated with public knowledge of CKD, an independent Results: A total of 350 people were approached, with 301 of them completing and returning the questionnaire, yielding an 86% response rate. The mean (S.D.) knowledge score of participants in this study was 11.12 (±4.21), with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 22. In terms of the distribution of the CKD knowledge score, half of the respondents have a score of 11 or less. One-way ANOVA revealed that respondents with a degree educational background and family history of CKD had higher knowledge scores. An independent Conclusion: The Ethiopian population has a low level of general knowledge about CKD and its risk factors. Non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, are currently a public health concern and one of the major risk factors for CKD.
