Data on nutritional awareness among Saudi adults: Al-Ahsa study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Nutritional awareness is essential for preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) linked to poor diet and sedentary lifestyles. In Saudi Arabia, gender-specific patterns of nutrition knowledge remain inconsistent, necessitating localized evidence to guide health promotion strategies. Therefore, it is of interest to assess and compare awareness of healthy nutritional practices among 538 Saudi adults aged 18-65 years in Al-Ahsa using a validated questionnaire. Overall nutritional awareness was moderate (males: 2.12 ± 0.16; females: 2.13 ± 0.17), while nutrition and physical-activity awareness were high in both genders. Mann-Whitney U tests showed no statistically significant gender differences in awareness scores (p > 0.05). Despite adequate awareness, unhealthy behaviors such as meal skipping (77.9%) and sedentary lifestyle (34.8%) were common. Thus, we show a gap between awareness and practice and support the need for targeted community nutrition interventions.
