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

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the KAP of physicians regarding targeted drug therapy for lung cancer in China. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled physicians working in hospitals in Nanyang. A self-administered questionnaire was developed (Cronbach's α=0.912) to collect the demographic information and KAP. Results: This study included 191 valid questionnaires. Most participants were male (70.2%) and aged 36-50 (55.5%). The median knowledge score was 29 (24-31) (/36, 80.6%), the mean attitude score was 42 (39-44) (/50, 84.0%), and the mean practice score was 28 (26-29) (/30, 93.3%), indicating sufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practice. The female gender (OR=5.291, 95% CI: 1.426-19.634, P=0.013), working in non-public tertiary hospitals (OR=0.053, 95% CI: 0.008-0.360, P=0.003), and working in medical oncology (OR=10.764, 95% CI: 2.638-43.922, P=0.001) were independently associated with adequate knowledge. Only the knowledge scores (OR=1.121, 95% CI: 1.036-1.212, P=0.004) were independently associated with a positive attitude. Only the attitude scores (OR=1.895, 95% CI: 1.333-2.694, P<0.001) were independently associated with proactive practice. Conclusion: Physicians working in thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine, or medical oncology displayed sufficient knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice toward targeted therapy for lung cancer.
