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: Global demand for health economics/pharmacoeconomics (HE/PE) has significantly increased, leading to a greater need for competent and skilled healthcare professionals in this field. However, the current literature indicates a lack of research regarding HE/PE among healthcare professionals, including those in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), particularly among registered nurses. Hence, this study assessed registered nurses' levels of awareness and knowledge of HE/PE and their sociodemographic and HE/PE-related predictors. Methods: A descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional design was used. The study was conducted on a convenience sample of 324 registered nurses working at the three hospitals within King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, KSA. Data were collected from May 2025 to June 2025, and analyzed using SPSS v.30. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted for HE/PE awareness, and multiple linear regression analyses were performed for knowledge about HE/PE. The significance level was established at Results: Registered nurses demonstrated an overall low level of knowledge (2.39/5), while showing a good level awareness about HE/PE across four awareness items (52.8% to 84.6%) but suboptimal for the remaining two items (38.6% and 38.9%). Several sociodemographic and HE/PE-related factors were identified as significant predictors of the registered nurses' awareness and knowledge regarding HE/PE. Notably, four out of the six awareness items: "have heard about HE/PE" ( Conclusion: The findings indicate that the knowledge level regarding HE/PE among registered nurses was low; nevertheless, their awareness was acceptable. It is crucial to develop and implement targeted educational strategies and interventions aimed at enhancing both awareness and knowledge about HE/PE among registered nurses in the KSA, while meticulously considering pertinent sociodemographic and HE/PE-related factors.
