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
Purpose: To assess the level and determinants of knowledge, attitude, and practice for eye and vision screening of preschool children among parents in Al-Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia. Methods: Parents of kindergartners were surveyed in 2023. Questions relating to knowledge (10), attitude (5), and practice (5) of vision screening were asked. Answers were graded on a five-point Likert scale, where 1 indicates strong disagreement and 5 indicates strong agreement; results were analyzed with regard to family demographics and child refractive status. Results: A total of 214 parents were surveyed, representing 214 households. Level of knowledge was good or very good in 66.2%, attitude was positive in 41%, and practice was acceptable in 72.2% of respondents. The median knowledge score was 4.0 (IQR, 3.5-4.0), median attitude score was 3.0 (IQR, 3.0-4.0), and median practice score was 4.0 (IQR, 3.0-4.0). Education and family income were associated with practice scores ( Conclusions: Parental knowledge on eye and vision screening for children in Al-Qassim Province has room to improve, and negative attitudes must be addressed. Practice for eye care in preschoolers was promising for adoption of universal preschool vision initiatives.
