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 Objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among men worldwide Insufficient awareness and poor attitudes towards PCa adversely impact early detection efforts among men. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and associated factors towards PCa and its screening among northern Saudi males. Methods: Using a validated data collection tool, we surveyed 381 males in this cross-sectional study in the Arar and Aljouf regions of Saudi Arabia. We applied Spearman's test to find the correlation between knowledge and attitude domains. Using the binary logistic regression model, we determined the predictors associated with the knowledge and attitude. Results: We found that less than half of the males had high levels of knowledge (37.0%) and attitude (47.5%) towards PCa. Knowledge was significantly higher among those working in the private sector (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.63-4.22, p = 0.003) and among those with a family history of PCa (aOR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.75-2.81, p = 0.017). Significantly lower levels of knowledge are observed in people aged above 55 years (aOR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.53-0.91, p = 0.009) and those residing in rural areas (aOR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.27-0.81, p = 0.007). Regarding attitude, we found that smokers (aOR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.27-0.62, p = 0.001) and those living in rural areas (aOR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.44-0.81, p = 0.004) had significantly lower levels. Conclusion: Suboptimal knowledge and attitudes toward PCa screening highlight the need for targeted public health campaigns, workplace education, and rural outreach programs to improve early detection and reduce the burden of PCa.
