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
Purpose: Ultraviolet radiation exposure is a major risk factor for skin cancer development, and sun protection remains the primary prevention strategy. The Readiness to Alter Sun-Protective Behaviour (RASP-B) questionnaire was developed to assess individuals' readiness to engage in sun-protective behaviours. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate an Arabic version of the RASP-B for use in Arabic-speaking populations. Patients and Methods: Three independent translators conducted forward translation of the questionnaire into Arabic, followed by back translation by three additional translators. A consensus version was developed after review by the study team, pilot-tested for clarity and acceptability, and shared with the original instrument developer. Participants completed demographic items, the Arabic RASP-B, and the Sun Exposure and Behaviour Inventory (SEBI). Psychometric evaluation included internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity. Results: A total of 152 Arabic-speaking participants were enrolled from dermatology clinics at King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Most participants were Saudi nationals (97.4%), and 54.6% were female. The Arabic RASP-B showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.81) and test-retest reliability (overall ICC = 0.84; item-level ICC = 0.72-0.86). The data were suitable for factor analysis (KMO = 0.78; Bartlett's test: χ Conclusion: The Arabic RASP-B demonstrated promising preliminary reliability and validity in a single-center dermatology clinic sample. Further multicenter validation, including confirmatory factor analysis, is needed before broader clinical implementation.
