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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward biologics among systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from March 2023 to January 2024. Demographic information and KAP were obtained through the distribution of self-designed questionnaires. Results: A total of 543 SLE patients participated in this study, with a mean age of 39.14 ± 13.08 years. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 6.08 ± 5.49 (possible range: 0-32), 33.14 ± 4.01 (possible range: 10-50), and 12.06 ± 3.95 (possible range: 6-30), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that knowledge score (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.019-1.144, Conclusion: SLE patients demonstrated inadequate knowledge, suboptimal attitudes, and passive practices regarding biologics. It is recommended that healthcare providers prioritize education and interventions aimed at enhancing knowledge, fostering positive attitudes, and promoting proactive practices regarding biologic therapies among SLE patients.
