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

objectiveThe aim was to assess the current knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of obstetricians, gynaecologists and women of childbearing age attending gynaecology/hysteroscopy clinics regarding intrauterine adhesions (IUA) by conducting a survey in various hospitals in western China.

designIn this study, a cross-sectional survey design was used to select seven representative hospitals in western China between January and June 2023.questionnaires were administered to 210 obstetricians and gynaecologists in these seven hospitals and to 306 women of childbearing age visiting the obstetrics and gynaecology/hysteroscopy clinics of these hospitals.

resultsA total of 506 valid responses were obtained. The interviewed doctors exhibited a high level of knowledge regarding postabortion management, which correlated positively with their years of experience and the hospital level. Approximately 96.12% of the doctors expressed a willingness to apply this knowledge in clinical practice. On the basis of their knowledge and attitudes towards abortion management, 87.86% of the doctors would choose to implement these measures effectively to protect patients' future fertility. The patients' knowledge significantly improved after treatment, with 92.33% of the patients agreeing that protective measures should be taken during sexual intercourse when procreation is not intended. However, in practice, only 47.67% of the women voluntarily used safety measures.

conclusionEnhancing doctors' understanding of fertility protection and perioperative management can reduce the abortion rate and increase patient awareness of the potential harm caused by abortion. Strengthening reproductive health education for women of childbearing age and improving their access to relevant knowledge during preabortion education can deepen their understanding of uterine cavity adhesions. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
