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.

Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a brief, culturally tailored educational video in improving stroke-related knowledge among residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: A pre-post intervention study was conducted with 407 UAE residents aged 25 years and older. Participants viewed a 3-min educational video addressing stroke symptoms, risk factors, and preventive strategies. Stroke knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire immediately before and after the video. Statistical analyses included paired t-tests, repeated measures ANOVA, and linear regression models. Results: Stroke knowledge significantly increased following the intervention (mean score: 20.80 pre-test to 23.53 post-test; Conclusion: A brief, culturally relevant audiovisual intervention effectively enhances stroke-related knowledge. Such scalable educational tools should be integrated into global public health strategies to promote earlier stroke recognition and intervention.
