1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 Aim: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries, causing significant healthcare system disruptions due to inadequate access, high costs, and growing complications. This study aims to examine cardiovascular knowledge comprehensively among the Jordanian population. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to recruit a total of 1,050 participants. A convenience sampling approach was used to gather data from accessible participants who meet the study criteria. A self-administered questionnaire was used to comprehensively assess participants' knowledge of cardiac diseases composed of 30 questions about dietary knowledge, epidemiology, medical information, risk factors, and heart attack symptoms. Results: A total of 54.9% were female and 41.0% were employed. The vast majority of participants lived with their families ( Conclusion: Jordan's population has a relatively low public cardiac knowledge score in all areas of heart disease, which may be a result of a lack of health literacy, a lack of educational programs about the further complications of heart disease, and poor socioeconomic conditions among Jordanians.
