Knowledge, attitude and practice toward fibromyalgia among fibromyalgia patients: A web-based cross-sectional study in China.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of fibromyalgia patients toward fibromyalgia.
methodsThis web-based cross-sectional study was conducted in China between February and March 2023 among fibromyalgia patients using a self-administered questionnaire.
resultsA total of 401 valid questionnaires were enrolled, including 326 (81.30%) females and with a mean age of 42.42 ± 11.78 years. The mean scores for KAP were 7.14 ± 2.72 (possible range: 0-10), 27.31 ± 4.24 (possible range: 8-40) and 28.08 ± 5.55 (possible range: 10-50), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed knowledge (OR = 1.09, 95%CI: 1.04-1.15, P = 0.001) and patient global impression (PGI) on average pain severity in the last week (OR = 0.89, 95%CI: 0.81-0.97, P = 0.011) were independently associated with positive attitude. Attitude (OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 1.02-1.14, P = 0.006), initial consultation in orthopedics (OR = 2.15, 95%CI: 1.24-3.73, P = 0.006) and age (OR = 0.98, 95%CI: 0.96-1.00, P = 0.037) were independently associated with proactive practice. The structural equation model demonstrated that knowledge had a positive effect on attitude (β = 0.21, P = 0.006), and Widespread Pain Index (WPI) exhibited an impact on both knowledge (β = -0.04, P < 0.001) and attitude (β = -0.52, P = 0.001).
conclusionFibromyalgia patients showed suboptimal knowledge, moderate attitude and inactive practice toward fibromyalgia. To enhance fibromyalgia patient outcomes, recommendations include targeted education, addressing rural-urban disparities in knowledge, emphasizing early diagnosis, and adopting patient-centered approaches to promote positive attitude and better disease management.
