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.
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
Background: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plays a critical role in managing perimenopausal syndrome, yet patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward HRT remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to assess KAP toward HRT among patients with perimenopausal syndrome. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, in February 2024 used a validated self-designed questionnaire to assess demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to examine the pathways among KAP dimensions. Results: Among the 520 participants analyzed, 73.3% resided in urban areas, and 37.9% had used HRT for less than one year. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 18.01±6.05 (possible range: 0-26), 37.56±5.07 (possible range: 10-50), and 6.07±1.70 (possible range: 0-8), respectively. There were significant positive correlations among knowledge, attitudes, and practices (all P < 0.001). SEM results showed that knowledge directly influenced attitudes (β = 0.499, P < 0.001) and practices (β = 0.125, P = 0.007), and that attitudes also directly influenced practices (β = 0.175, P = 0.005). Conclusion: Patients exhibited moderate knowledge and relatively positive practices, though their attitudes toward HRT were suboptimal. The findings highlight the interrelationships among knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HRT, suggesting that educational efforts may play a key role in improving patient understanding and engagement.
