1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study analyzed the difference between rural and urban older adults in Thailand regarding the relationship between the knowledge and behavior toward the prevention of contracting COVID-19. Path analysis was used to observe if the performance of protective behaviors was affected by the level of knowledge that older people have about the disease. This study used the Impact of COVID-19 on Older Persons in Thailand survey collected across the five regions of the country. Rural residents benefited from community network of village health volunteers who provided information during the pandemic but, they had disadvantages on accessing newer media sources, mainly the internet, for the latest developments on COVID-19. Rural older adults had a higher level of knowledge about COVID-19 than those in urban areas; no difference was observed regarding their behavior to prevent themselves from being infected. The knowledge-behavior gap was viewed as a mechanism of cognitive avoidance because of overwhelming unprecedented information.
