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: Rh incompatibility arises when a Rh-negative woman carries a Rh-positive fetus, which can lead to Rh alloimmunization and complications. A tertiary care center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, reported a tenfold higher prevalence of Rh alloimmunization compared to developed countries. This study aimed to assess maternal knowledge, attitudes, and perspectives on Rh incompatibility, including its complications and preventive measures, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study that was applied among community mothers, primiparous, and multiparous females living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data collection took two months, from June 1, 2024, to July 31, 2024. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 29 and the quantitative variables are presented as numbers and percentages. Results: The mean age of participants was 38 ± 10 years, with equal representation of Saudi and non-Saudi women (50% each). Marital status distribution showed 93% married, 5% divorced, and 2% widowed. Key factors linked to higher knowledge scores included younger age, higher education levels, and antenatal care attendance. Younger mothers had better scores, as did those with higher educational attainment and antenatal care experience. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a significant gap in understanding the Rh factor, despite the majority of the participants being aware of it. Moreover, higher levels of education and younger age are associated with better knowledge scores, perhaps providing an opportunity for focused educational programs in the future.
