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
Objective: To assess public awareness of cancer symptoms, risk factors, and available screening programs, and to examine their association with sociodemographic parameters in Georgian population. Methods: A cross-sectional study (2023-2024) surveyed 385 adults via random-digit dialing using the Georgian version of the Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM), which comprises 9 symptom and 11 risk factor items. No stratification or demographic weighting was applied. A pilot test ( Results: Among the 385 respondents, 57.7% demonstrated low-to-average awareness of cancer symptoms. Women exhibited significantly greater awareness than men (β = 0.19, Conclusions: Improving cancer awareness and facilitating earlier diagnosis will require scalable, equity-oriented educational initiatives that account for gender and socioeconomic disparities. Implementing such programs across schools, primary care settings, and mass media, alongside the expansion of cancer screening services, may substantially enhance timely detection and reduce inequities in cancer outcomes.
