Comprehension of premarital screening and genetic disorders among the population of Riyadh.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: Premarital, unfortunately, does not cover all possible genetic diseases, such as deafness and congenital heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, nor does it cover unknown genetic mutations that may cause severe defects in subsequent generations. However, the Saudi population has limited knowledge regarding premarital screening tests, which do not detect all genetic disorders or diseases. Hence, we aimed to explore the knowledge and attitudes among the population of Riyadh toward premarital screening. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with a self-administered designed questionnaire. The survey included questions regarding sociodemographic data, genetics, genetic testing, and premarital screening. All data were entered and analyzed in the statistical package SPSS version 22. Results: A total of 385 participants responded to the questionnaire, and good knowledge among most participants was significantly associated with education level ( Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes among the population of Riyadh toward premarital screening must be improved through national awareness programs. In light of our results, a need exists to provide more information and education regarding screening. Further studies must be conducted in urban areas to investigate the level of satisfaction with existing programs.
