Parental knowledge, attitude and management practices of childhood diarrhoea in the UAE.
Article in Journal of public health research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Childhood diarrhoea remains a significant public health concern in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Since parental awareness directly influences health-seeking behaviour and management decisions, this study aims to evaluate gaps in parental knowledge, attitudes and practices related to childhood diarrhoea. Design and methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted in the UAE using a self-administered online questionnaire, and 492 responses were collected. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS-26. Results: 21.1% ( Conclusion: The overall participants' knowledge ranged from inadequate to moderate, revealing gaps in symptom recognition and misconceptions about disease causes. Addressing these gaps through targeted education programmes for expecting parents could enhance disease recognition, reduce unnecessary medical interventions and improve diarrhoea management, easing the burden on children in the UAE.
