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

This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of caregivers managing rehabilitation for pediatric hemiplegia patients. Conducted at our hospital from January 25 to July 20, 2024, self-developed questionnaires were used to evaluate KAP scores among caregivers and compare demographic factors. Spearman correlation analysis explored relationships between variables, and structural equation modeling (SEM) examined direct effects. A total of 547 valid questionnaires were analyzed, with 71.48% female respondents and 90.86% parents of pediatric patients. The mean KAP scores were 6.63 ± 0.66 (range: 0-7), 23.50 ± 2.26 (range: 6-30), and 42.63 ± 5.32 (range: 10-50), respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.0889, P = 0.0377), and between attitude and practice (r = 0.5550, P < 0.001). SEM confirmed direct associations between monthly income and knowledge (path coefficient = 0.09, P = 0.002), knowledge and attitude (path coefficient = 0.28, P = 0.048), and education level and attitude (path coefficient = 0.46, P = 0.001). Additionally, attitude (path coefficient = 1.27, P < 0.001) and the dominant hand of pediatric patients (path coefficient = 1.34, P < 0.001) were directly associated with practice. Knowledge (path coefficient = 0.35, P = 0.049) and education level (path coefficient = 0.58, P = 0.001) were indirectly linked to practice. Caregivers of pediatric patients with hemiplegia displayed adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices in rehabilitation management. Educational interventions and support programs are suggested, especially for caregivers with lower income and education levels.
