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

Allergic conjunctivitis is a common ocular allergic condition. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding allergic conjunctivitis among patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Eye Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from March to June 2024. Patients completed an online self-designed questionnaire to gather demographic data and KAP scores, which were compared across demographics. Correlations among KAP scores were analyzed, and factors influencing practices were explored using multivariate logistic regression. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to validate the KAP hypothesis. A total of 482 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding a validity rate of 93.77%. Among the respondents, 329 (68.26%) were female. The mean scores were 11.48 ± 6.90 (knowledge), 29.70 ± 4.33 (attitude), and 31.09 ± 8.71 (practice). Significant positive correlations were found between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.214, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.352, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.303, P < 0.001). SEM indicated that knowledge directly influenced attitude and, in turn, influenced practice. The study highlights a knowledge gap about allergic conjunctivitis, indicating a need for targeted educational interventions to improve attitudes and practices.
