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
backgroundBurn injuries are a major global health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, accounting for most burn-related deaths and disabilities. In Saudi Arabia, burns remain a frequent cause of morbidity, often resulting from domestic accidents involving hot liquids, open flames, or electricity. The Jazan region, with its dense population and reliance on traditional cooking methods, is considered at higher risk. Understanding public knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding burns and first aid is essential for guiding preventive strategies and health education efforts.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the level of awareness, knowledge, and practices related to burn causes and first aid management among residents of the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted using a validated Arabic questionnaire distributed through social media platforms. The questionnaire covered demographics, knowledge of burn causes and types, first aid management, and preventive practices. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0.
resultsOut of 404 participants aged 18-60 years, 228 (56.4%) demonstrated poor knowledge and awareness regarding burn causes and first aid management. The internet was the most commonly reported source of information (171/236, 72.5%), followed by formal courses (76/236, 32.2%), paper leaflets (75/236, 31.8%), television (67/236, 28.4%), and daily newspapers (23/236, 9.7%). Additionally, 215 (53.2%) participants had previously experienced burns, with hot water (136/215, 63.8%) and fire (105/215, 48.8%) cited as the most common causes. The most frequently affected sites were the hand (111/215, 51.6%), arm (85/215, 39.5%), and thigh (49/215, 22.8%).
conclusionsThe study highlights limited awareness and improper first aid practices among the Jazan population. Targeted community-based educational programs are needed to enhance burn prevention and management knowledge.
