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
Purpose: To evaluate the adequacy of a Saudi ophthalmology training programs in achieving the competencies outlined by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and to assess resident satisfaction with their training. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was sent electronically to all trainees (n=50) enrolled in the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) ophthalmology training program by email and messaging app (Whatsapp). The survey was sent between January 20, 2021, and January 30, 2021. It evaluated the level of satisfaction with surgical training and skills. The surgical logbooks of all trainees were extracted, and identifiers were removed. Then they were compared with SCFHS and ACGME curriculums for ophthalmology training. Results: Out of 50 invitees, 47 returned the questionnaire. All trainees were confident they could meet surgical requirements by the end of their training. Most trainees were satisfied (n=29, 61.7%) with their performance in core competency requirements. There was no difference between female and male trainees' comfort levels when performing surgical steps in core competency requirements ( Conclusion: The outcomes of the current study indicate that trainees at KKESH were adequately satisfied with their surgical training in general. Also, competencies outlined by both the SCFHS and the ACGME were adequately fulfilled.
