Awareness of benign prostatic hyperplasia among males in the Riyadh region, KSA.
Article in Urology annals. 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: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent urological condition characterized by nonneoplastic enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to lower urinary tract symptoms such as nocturia, urine retention, and secondary urinary infections. Methodology: This cross-sectional study evaluates BPH awareness, risk factors, and management among males ≥19 years in Riyadh, using a validated questionnaire ( Results: The results reveal a significant lack of awareness, with 61.3% of participants showing poor knowledge about BPH, its symptoms, and available treatments. Notably, the internet and social media were the primary information sources, overshadowing healthcare providers. Despite the low awareness, 76.6% of participants expressed interest in learning more about BPH, highlighting an opportunity for targeted educational programs. Conclusions: The study shows an urgent need for public health interventions to improve awareness, promote early detection, and address modifiable lifestyle risk factors to enhance the quality of life in affected populations. Targeted interventions leveraging social media and healthcare providers are urgently needed to address gaps in awareness and screening.
