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: The growing use of ionizing radiation in medical imaging requires balancing diagnostic benefits with radiation risks. This study assesses awareness and knowledge of radiation doses and risks among Jordanians. Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed 582 Jordanian social media users online between December and February 2023, using 24 multiple-choice questions on demographics, radiological health risks, and precautionary awareness. Results: The cohort consisted of 321 (55%) males and 261 (45%) females, with most patients (54%) being from the 18-30 age group. Findings revealed a 42% incidence of direct radiation exposure within the past six months, predominantly advised by physicians (82%). Notably, 94% of participants recognized the risk of radiation exposure to pregnant women's pelvic and abdominal regions. Awareness of the carcinogenic potential of radiation was high (92%), yet only 18% reported wearing protective gear during exposure. There was a significant difference between medical and non-medical respondents in the awareness of wearing protective gear (25% vs. 11%, Conclusion: The study reveals satisfactory awareness of medical radiation hazards among Jordanians, with disparities between medical and non-medical respondents. However, low protective gear usage and knowledge gaps indicate the need for improved education in radiology and public health campaigns on radiation safety.
