Knowledge About Alzheimer's Disease in 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 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
Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative dementia which constitutes a major healthcare problem globally. This study aimed to assess the pattern and determinants of knowledge about AD in Saudi Arabia. Methodology In this cross-sectional study, information was collected from 286 participants using a validated questionnaire on seven subdomains of knowledge about AD. SPSS (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for data analysis. Different tests of significance such as the chi-square test and principal component factor analyses were employed. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results The 25 questions on knowledge, attitudes, and practice about AD had a high Cronbach's alpha (0.911). All scores on the seven subdomains of knowledge, attitudes, and practice about AD were significantly correlated with each other (p < 0.05). The knowledge of the population about AD was very low, with the majority of the correct responses for questions on the different subdomains of knowledge about AD ranging from 10% to 67% (76% of the answers were below 50% correct answers). Females and smokers had higher scores on most subdomains compared to males and non-smokers (p < 0.05). Conclusions Knowledge of the population about AD is very low. As the subdomains of knowledge on AD are correlated, healthcare professionals should implement health education programs on AD to increase the knowledge of the population regarding the course, symptoms, risk factors, treatment and management, and caregiving and reveal their association with the impact of AD on the health of affected individuals.
