Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundColorectal cancer is the third common cancer, and the second common cause of cancer death in the world. According to the 2014 Cancer Incidence Report of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, colorectal cancer account for 11.5% from all cancers reported among Saudi nationals. By the year 2030, the incidence of colorectal cancer could increase fourfold among both genders.
aimThe study aimed to conduct to understand the knowledge, attitude, and practice of primary healthcare physicians regarding colorectal cancer screening in Riyadh Second Health Cluster in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study design, probability proportional to size sampling at the cluster zones level and convenient sampling for the physicians, were used among physicians working in the primary healthcare centers in the city of Riyadh between October 2022 and November 2022.
resultOf the 213 respondents, the mean age of the physician was 35, the majority were males (59%), Saudi Arabian nationality (60%), Resident Physicians (54%) and ≤ five years' work experience (45%). Sixty-four percent of the study participants believe that the majority of asymptomatic average-risk patients have to start the screening at the age of 45 years old. Ninety-seven percent believe that colorectal cancer screening for asymptomatic average-risk patients aged 45 years and older is effective. Ninety-two percent of the physicians perform colorectal cancer screening for asymptomatic average-risk patients aged 45 years. The mean knowledge score is 4.65 (SD=2.33) with a range of 0 to 10. The mean attitude score is 4.19 (SD=1.28) with a range of 0 to 6.
conclusionThe study found that the physicians had higher attitude and practice towards colorectal cancer screening and adequate knowledge towards colorectal cancer screening. The knowledge and attitude scores are associated with practicing colorectal cancer screening.
