Egyptian General Population Knowledge and Awareness Toward Oral Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in TheScientificWorldJournal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe present study aims to provide a thorough assessment of the level of knowledge and awareness of oral cancer among a general population of Egyptians and at correlating the main risk factors associated with the level of knowledge.
methodsOne thousand twenty-eight questionnaires were distributed to the general public at 10 public places located in Cairo, Egypt. Questionnaire results were summarized via descriptive statistics followed by correlation which was performed on the answers to different questions.
resultsThe overall knowledge of oral cancer among a population of Egyptian public was not strong, with 40% scoring 6-8 out of the maximum score 17. Only 14% of the participants acquired their knowledge from a healthcare provider. However, 47.2% did not know the symptoms of oral cancer. By common sense, 811 knew that tobacco is one of the causes of oral cancer.
conclusionsThe Egyptian population demonstrated a low knowledge of oral cancer, a finding that is supported by the results of many previous studies conducted on other populations. This finding was significantly influenced by a sociodemographic factor, that is, a higher level of education and young age. Therefore, educational programs and specialized departments are recommended to work on providing and imparting deeper knowledge of oral cancer.
