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, attitude and practice (KAP) of rosacea patients towards rosacea.

objectiveThe objective was to assess the KAP levels among rosacea patients to inform potential educational interventions.

designA web-based cross-sectional study was conducted. PARTICIPANTS/

settingThe study was conducted from November 2022 to October 2023 among rosacea patients attending the Dermatology Department of Southwest Hospital, Chongqing, using a self-administered questionnaire.

interventionNo specific intervention was applied; the focus was on understanding existing KAP.

main outcome measuresThe primary outcome measures included KAP scores regarding rosacea. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: Multivariate logistic regression analysis and structural equation modelling were employed to analyse the associations between KAP scores and demographic factors.

resultsA total of 514 valid questionnaires were collected, with 458 (89.11%) respondents being women. The mean KAP scores were 7.14±2.98 (possible range: 0-12) for knowledge, 52.57±7.07 (possible range: 13-65) for attitude and 62.77±13.24 (possible range: 18-90) for practice. Multivariate analysis indicated that knowledge, attitude, being male, aged 25-30 years and having health insurance were independently associated with proactive practice. Additionally, structural equation modelling revealed that knowledge directly influenced both attitude and practice, while attitude also directly impacted practice (all p<0.001).

conclusionsThe study found that rosacea patients had inadequate knowledge, a positive attitude and suboptimal practices regarding their condition. It is recommended that comprehensive patient education and support programmes be developed to enhance knowledge, foster positive attitudes and improve practice behaviours among rosacea patients.
