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
backgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death globally, and psychological factors are increasingly recognized as playing a significant role in its prognosis. This study aimed to assess the public's awareness of psychological factors affecting CHD prognosis in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 385 participants recruited randomly. The survey collected data on sociodemographic characteristics and respondents' opinions regarding the effects of negative and positive psychological factors on CHD prognosis, including differences based on age and gender.
resultsThe majority of participants (96.9%) agreed that negative psychological factors, such as stress (80.5%), anxiety (76.9%), and depression (67.5%), influence CHD prognosis. Positive factors like satisfaction (79.2%) and happiness (75.6%) were also recognized as influential. Participants aged 30-50 and over 50 demonstrated higher awareness of the link between psychological factors and CHD compared to those under 30. No significant gender differences were observed in knowledge levels.
conclusionThis study suggests that the Makkah population has a good understanding of the impact of psychological factors on CHD prognosis. Integrating this knowledge into comprehensive health education programs could benefit CHD prevention, management, and prognosis in the region. Future research should explore broader populations and utilize diverse methodologies to refine and generalize these findings.
