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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding whole-course management among patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.

methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled patients with GI cancers at the Inner Mongolia Hospital of Peking University Cancer Hospital between November 2023 and April 2024. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire, which captured demographic information and scores on KAP.

resultsA total of 408 participants were included in this study. The mean KAP scores were 10.62 ± 3.14 (out of a maximum of 15), 39.11 ± 4.94 (out of a maximum of 50), and 31.35 ± 5.60 (out of a maximum of 40), respectively. Knowledge was positively correlated with attitudes (r = 0.307, P < 0.001) and practices (r = 0.417, P < 0.001), while attitudes were positively correlated with practices (r = 0.383, P < 0.001). The structural equation model indicated that knowledge influenced attitudes (β = 0.573, P < 0.001) and practices (β = 0.466, P < 0.001), while attitudes influenced practices (β = 0.525, P < 0.001).

conclusionsPatients with GI cancers demonstrated insufficient knowledge, moderate attitudes, and suboptimal practices regarding whole-course management. Improvements in practice could be achieved by enhancing knowledge and attitudes through specialized health education.
