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
Introduction: One of the main factors that lead to increased hearing loss consequences and progression is inadequate knowledge and practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management modalities. In Saudi Arabia, ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physicians are the primary source of knowledge about hearing loss and its management. The aim of the present study is to assess the knowledge and practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management among ENT physicians in Saudi Arabia. Objective: The aim of the present study is to assess the knowledge and practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management among ENT physicians in Saudi Arabia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study with 106 ENT physicians working at different hospitals in Saudi Arabia from January to May 2023. A questionnaire consisting of 2 sections with 20 questions was used to assess the knowledge and practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management for children. Results: The current study showed inadequate knowledge of hearing loss and its management. The mean knowledge score was of 12.4 ± 2.12. The knowledge scores of the different types of ENT professionals were compared, and no statistically significant differences were observed ( Conclusion: More research should be conducted to assess the practice of hearing screening in Saudi Arabia. Our recommendation is the provision of more educational sessions about the recent guidelines on hearing loss screening.
