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

Economic inequities in healthcare access persist globally, yet the impact of income on palliative care (PC) utilization in Middle Eastern contexts remains empirically understudied. This cross-sectional study of 200 cancer patients in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, employed a socioeconomic stratification analysis to examine income-stratified differences in PC awareness and access. Using chi-square and linear-by-linear association tests, results revealed pronounced income gradients; awareness increased from 41.9% in the low-income group to 71.9% in the high-income group (
