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

Objection: This study investigated the relationship between the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among hospitalized patients regarding the prevention and control of COVID-19. Method: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among hospitalized patients between July 8 and August 11, 2021, at a tertiary hospital in Taizhou, China. We performed descriptive analysis, t test, ANOVA (analysis of variance), and generalized linear regression modeling on the exported data. All data were analyzed using R software, version 4.1.0. Results: A total of 1185 valid questionnaires were returned. The average score of the participants on COVID-19 behaviors was 69.3 (SD = 15.6, with a full score of 87), indicating that most inpatients had good COVID-19 prevention and control behaviors. In addition, we found that inpatients with higher COVID-19 awareness also behaved better (B (95%CI) = 1.00 (0.73-1.27)) and were more willing to recommend vaccination to other people (OR (95%CI) = 1.11 (1.06-1.17)). Moreover, hospitalized patients who had positive attitudes toward implementing COVID-19 prevention and control measures had better practices (B (95%CI) = 2.50 (2.24-2.76)) and more willingness to recommend vaccinations (OR (95%CI) = 1.20 (1.14-1.26)). Conclusion: The research showed that the COVID-19 behaviors of hospitalized patients were positively associated with their knowledge and attitudes. These findings suggested that, for inpatients, hospitals should focus on teaching basic prevention knowledge of COVID-19. Targeted education initiatives should also be developed for patients from rural areas, especially those over 60 years of age, to help improve their knowledge and cultivate good prevention and control behaviors. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10389-022-01796-y.
