Peripheral arterial disease: Gap in the knowledge and awareness of associated risk factors in the general population of Saudi Arabia.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Context: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a significant public health burden; however, the awareness and knowledge of PAD among the general population remain low. Aims: To assess the knowledge, awareness, and risk factors of PAD in the general population of Saudi Arabia (SA). Settings and Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Methods and Material: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from June to December 2024 among SA's general population. An electronic questionnaire was used to assess knowledge and awareness of PAD risk factors. Results: We included 556 participants. Most (461 participants, 82.9%) did not have or did not know anyone with PAD (Group A), whereas 95 participants (17.1%) had or knew someone with PAD (Group B). Regarding comparing knowledge between the two groups, Group B showed significantly more knowledge of terms such as critical limb ischemia and intermediate claudication ( Conclusions: This study highlights significant gaps in awareness and knowledge of PAD, which could cause poor recognition of symptoms and delayed diagnosis. Therefore, targeted educational initiatives are crucial for addressing these knowledge deficits, promoting proactive health-seeking behaviors, and improving outcomes in individuals with PAD.
