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.

Thus, this study was designed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of hemorrhoids in Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia, from January to June 2023. Encompassing both urban and rural areas, the study focused on individuals aged 18 and above, excluding those with communication difficulties, mental illness, or severe conditions.
