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

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has had a significant impact on public health and the socioeconomic system. While governments established community-wide containment measures to prevent further transmission, the number of patients continued to increase. For a better COVID-19 outbreak response, there is a need to better understand communities' knowledge, attitudes and practices toward COVID-19. Objective: Our main objective is to describe knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19 in a population under community-wide containment measures. Participants and Setting: Eligible participants affected by community-wide containment measures living in southern Thailand were included. A convenience sampling strategy was used to include the participants. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was used in this study. We developed an online self-administered Thai-language questionnaire that included the respondents' demographic profiles and questions regarding their knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19. Piloting the questionnaire was performed in a small sample at Walailak University, Nakhon Si Thammarat. Results: In total, 717 subjects were included in this study. Regarding the knowledge and practice assessments, most respondents knew about COVID-19 by browsing websites. The respondents were confident in their knowledge, understood the situation causing the COVID-19 outbreak and knew how to prevent it. However, there were still misunderstandings. Regarding the attitude assessment, only 56.4% (405/717) of the subjects scored greater than or equal to 80%. Conclusion: COVID-19 misunderstandings render disease outbreaks more difficult to control. These misunderstandings may result from outdated or inaccurate online information. It is essential to gain knowledge from a reliable source for proper understanding.
