Prevalence of Risk Factors Among Patients With Glaucoma in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of risk factors among patients with glaucoma in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 215 patients diagnosed with glaucoma in the period between March 2022 and August 2022 at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. We used the participants' medical records and contacted the patients to collect information on sociodemographic characteristics and known risk factors of glaucoma. Results Among the 215 patients with glaucoma, 142 (66.0%) patients had open-angle glaucoma, 15 (7.0%) patients had closed-angle glaucoma, and 58 (27.0%) patients had congenital glaucoma. Among the patients with open-angle glaucoma, 122 (85.9%) patients were aged > 40 years, and 99 (69.7%) patients had myopia. Among the patients with closed-angle glaucoma, 13 (86.7%) patients had hyperopia and 10 (66.7%) patients were aged > 60 years. Among the patients with congenital glaucoma, 21 (36.2%) patients had a family history of congenital glaucoma and 28 (48.3%) patients had consanguine parents. Conclusion The prevalence of advanced age, hyperopia, and consanguine parents was the highest among patients with open-angle glaucoma, closed-angle glaucoma, and congenital glaucoma, respectively. These findings could inform public health policies among practitioners involved in ophthalmological care.
