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
Background: Concussions are considered a public health issue with both short- and long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional consequences. Parents play an important role in recognizing symptoms, seeking care, and managing recovery. In Saudi Arabia, there is limited evidence regarding parental knowledge and attitudes toward pediatric concussions. Objective: The study assessed parental knowledge and attitudes regarding concussions in Saudi Arabia and examined the influence of sociodemographic factors, such as income, education level, gender, number of children, and history of falls. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional survey was carried out across Saudi Arabia from February to April 2025. Parents aged 18 and above with children participated through an online self-administered questionnaire. The survey gathered demographic information, beliefs regarding concussion management, recognition of symptoms, and knowledge and attitudes about concussion. Results: A total of 524 participants were included in the final analysis. The majority of participants were female (79.2%), Saudi nationals (95.2%), and residents of the central region (68.5%). The age distribution indicated that most participants were between 31 and 50 years old (71.1%). The average score on the Concussion Knowledge Index was 15.4 ± 3.0 out of 25, while the average attitude score was 42.0 ± 6.2 out of 49. Despite this, 63.0% of participants reported not having prior awareness of concussion-related information. CKI scores showed a positive correlation with education level ( Conclusion: This study provides nationwide cross-sectional survey data on parents' knowledge and attitudes about pediatric concussions in Saudi Arabia. The results highlight the need to develop culturally appropriate educational programs for parents and public health initiatives focused on enhancing early detection and management of pediatric concussions.
