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: Mind mapping is an active learning strategy that supports information organization and integration. Evidence regarding Saudi respiratory therapy students' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding mind mapping remains scarce. This study assessed these domains among this population. Methods: This observational, descriptive, cross-sectional survey included 405 undergraduate respiratory therapy students from 13 Saudi universities, recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. A researcher-developed questionnaire was used to evaluate the content validity, face validity, and internal consistency. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 22. Nonparametric statistical tests were applied, with statistical significance set at Results: The overall mean knowledge score was 4.70 of 10 (SD = 1.54). Using modified Bloom cutoffs, 277 students (68.4%) had low knowledge. The mean attitude and perception scores were 3.66 (SD = 0.58) and 3.64 out of 5 (SD = 0.66), respectively, indicating generally favorable responses. Knowledge and attitude scores did not differ significantly by sex, academic level, or geographic region. Attitude scores showed a significant increasing trend across the grade point average (GPA) categories ( Conclusion: Respiratory therapy students demonstrated limited knowledge but generally favorable attitudes and perceptions regarding mind mapping. Attitude scores increased across the GPA categories, whereas perception scores varied by sex and participating university. These findings provide multi-institutional baseline evidence that may inform future educational planning and evaluations of mind mapping in respiratory therapy education.
