Evaluation of Knowledge and Attitudes of the Population of Tabuk City Regarding Parkinson's Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe lack of awareness and information about PD may be a barrier to early diagnosis and the delivery of the best care to patients with the condition, given its rising prevalence. In order to determine the variables that are connected to these parameters, this study sought to ascertain the general public's knowledge and awareness of PD in Tabuk City.
methodsIn Tabuk City, a cross-sectional demographic survey was carried out. A validated structured questionnaire was used to interview adult respondents by random sampling regarding specific knowledge, attitudes, and awareness related to Parkinson's disease. According to the density of the city, a total of 426 members of the general population were chosen at random and interviewed by skilled interviewers.
resultsAge and educational attainment were independently linked to PD awareness. Bachelor's degree subjects and those between the ages of 18 and 45 displayed a greater awareness of PD. Those above 60 and those between the ages of 46 and 60 lacked sufficient knowledge. The majority of participants demonstrated adequate understanding and awareness of PD in their respective occupations.
conclusionsAge, gender, occupation, and level of education were all adequately covered by knowledge and understanding of PD. To increase public knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of PD, however, suitable educational tactics and approaches targeting particular subgroups are required.
