Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Health policy education is increasingly understood to be an important aspect in preparing future health professionals to become active policy leaders. However, current research on health policy education is limited and has been performed predominantly in Western contexts. The aim of this study was to explore and analyze the state of health policy education in KSA. Methods: A qualitative document analysis was performed on the course materials of health policy courses offered in Saudi universities. The inductive and interpretive analysis revealed four themes that were finalized after iterative engagement with data and interpretation. The study's credibility was enhanced through negative case analysis and rival explanations. Results: The results indicated that health policy education was delivered exclusively to specific programs. Whereas health policy courses had specific objectives, the programs' specialization or the Saudi context influenced the foci of these courses. The varying foci in health policy courses were accompanied by content reflecting the policy process and a discussion of various health policy domains. Conclusion: The results underscore the importance of building momentum in health policy education and the crucial roles of academic, health and policy leaders. The holistic approach of this study comprehensively indicates the national status of health policy education and situates the ongoing conversation regarding health policy education in a global context.
