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
Introduction: Parents play an important role in recognizing potential eye problems in children, yet their knowledge and perceptions regarding pediatric eye disorders remain insufficiently characterized in Jordan. This study assessed several dimensions of parental eye-health awareness and examined factors associated with parents' self-reported familiarity with common pediatric eye disorders. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional survey on 1,264 parents residing in all twelve governorates of Jordan. The questionnaire had five domains: knowledge of pediatric eye diseases, recognition of symptoms and causes, treatment and management, attitudes toward eye care, and barriers to accessing services. We also asked the parents to classify their familiarity with common pediatric eye disorders, and we used this as the main study outcome. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, independent-samples Results: It was found that most of the participants were women (70.7%), married (93.7%), and had a bachelor's degree (54.7%). 61.1% of parents classified themselves as familiar with common pediatric eye disorders. Over the five domains, parental attitudes toward eye care had the highest mean score, followed by recognition of symptoms and causes. Parental attitudes toward eye care had the highest overall domain score, followed by recognition of symptoms and causes. Participants reporting familiarity had significantly higher scores than those reporting no familiarity across all five domains. In the domain-level regression analysis, only knowledge of pediatric eye diseases (OR = 2.13, Conclusions: Participating parents generally demonstrated positive attitudes toward pediatric eye care but showed important gaps in disease-specific and treatment-related knowledge. Several knowledge and treatment-related items were associated with self-reported familiarity, even after adjustment for participant characteristics. These findings identify potential targets for parental eye-health education but should not be interpreted as evidence of actual care-seeking behavior, treatment adherence, or clinical decision-making.
