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
Introduction: Anxiety and depression are among the major challenges that influence the health of individuals, especially those with disabilities. This study aimed to assess the level of anxiety and depression and the factors that affect them among adult individuals with physical disabilities in Hail, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study recruited 155 adult individuals with physical disabilities in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia. From January to May 2024, data were collected from people with disabilities using an online validated questionnaire based on the satisfaction and the HADS. The survey was sent to people with physical disabilities through the responsible bodies after being given the required permissions. The data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. Results: The research included individuals between 20 and 40 years old, nearly half of whom (47.7%) were women. More than half of the participants were under 25 years old, and 80% of them complained of physical disability, which was mild (62.6%) and due to congenital causes (61.9%). The study findings also showed that 61.8% of people with physical disabilities was satisfied with the provided healthcare services and 32.9 and 18% of them reported high levels of anxiety and depression, respectively. Anxiety was significantly associated with the educational level, degree of disability, presence of chronic illnesses, and parking availability Discussion: The majority of people with disabilities in Hail, Saudi Arabia complain of borderline to abnormal levels of anxiety compared with one-third of participants in the aspect of depression. Education, degree, type, cause of disability, and presence of chronic diseases had a significant impact on mental health among people with disabilities.
