1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 artery disease (CAD) is a significant global health concern and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. As a complex cardiovascular condition, CAD arises from the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, leading to restricted blood flow to the heart muscle. While CAD has been extensively studied, its prevalence remains a challenge, particularly in diverse populations with distinct cultural and lifestyle practices.

objectivesTo assess the awareness of risk factors for CAD in the population of Al-Majma'ah Region, Saudi Arabia.

methodsThe purpose of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to determine participants' awareness of CAD risk factors among the population of Al-Majma'ah Region, Saudi Arabia. It was conducted by the use of a self-administered questionnaire that had been validated in prior research publications. Sociodemographic information as well as the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors were covered in the survey. The data analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States).

resultsA total of 919 individuals were enrolled in the current study after meeting the inclusion criteria. The results showed that most of the respondents 626 (68.1%) had a good level of awareness, 261 (28.4%) had a fair level of awareness, while only 32 (3.5%) of the respondents had a poor level of CAD risk factors awareness.

conclusionThe majority of participants had a good level of knowledge regarding CAD risk factors. The correlation between monthly income and awareness of coronary artery risk factors was statistically significant.
