Awareness of Common Ocular Conditions Among Trinidad Population: A Cross-Sectional Pilot Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Aims: Cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (DR), uncorrected refractive error (URE), and corneal anomalies are some of the leading causes of blindness and visual impairment (VI). Awareness of these ocular conditions and their consequences is crucial for early detection and management to prevent blindness. The study is aimed to assess the awareness of common ocular conditions among adults in Trinidad. Methods: A cross-sectional study of Trinidad and Tobago (T & T) adults was conducted to determine their awareness of common ocular conditions. Data were collected face-to-face using a self-administered questionnaire and systematic random sampling. Awareness was defined as whether the respondent had ever heard of the ocular conditions. Knowledge, on the other hand, was assessed based on the respondent's understanding of various aspects of each condition, including its symptoms, risk factors, and management strategies. Result: A total of 230 individuals aged 18 to 83 years participated in this study, with 146 (63.5%) being female. Majority of participants (69.1%) were under 30 years of age, and 63% had attained tertiary education. Cataracts had the highest awareness rate ( Conclusion: The level of awareness of the common ocular conditions among the T & T populations was comparable with the global findings. There is a need to increase awareness of DR and RE among the population to reduce the burden caused by these conditions.
