Health Sciences Students' Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Snoring: A Cross-Sectional Study in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 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
Objective: Snoring is a sound produced by the vibrations of upper airway soft tissues due to partial airway obstruction during sleep. It is often linked to sleep-disordered breathing and may suggest underlying conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea. As future healthcare professionals, health sciences students should possess adequate knowledge and appropriate attitudes regarding snoring and its clinical implications. This study aimed to assess health sciences students' knowledge and attitudes toward snoring. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 760 health sciences students from three universities in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Participants were recruited using quota sampling and completed a validated, self-administered questionnaire assessing demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes regarding snoring. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests. Independent Results: Most participants reported that snoring disrupts sleep (75.5%) and is more common among males (73.3%). Female students demonstrated significantly greater agreement that snoring can worsen nasal symptoms ( Conclusion: Health sciences students demonstrated varying levels of knowledge and attitudes toward snoring, with notable differences by gender and academic discipline. These findings highlighted the importance of incorporating targeted educational strategies within health sciences curricula to enhance awareness and support early recognition of snoring-related health conditions.
