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

Purpose: Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity affecting primarily adults and the elderly, especially females, resulting in significant changes in foot architecture and function. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding hallux valgus among women. Patients and Methods: Between July and August 2023, a self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect demographic data along with KAP scores from 526 women, 291 (55.32%) of whom were over 30 years of age. Results: The mean scores were 7.04 ± 2.25 for knowledge (range: 0-10), 36.24 ± 2.98 for attitude (range: 11-55), and 25.02 ± 4.90 for practice (range: 7-35). Multivariate logistic regression identified knowledge (OR = 1.335, 95% CI: 1.213-1.469, P < 0.001), age over 30 years (OR = 1.517, 95% CI: 1.026-2.244, P = 0.037), monthly income above 10,000 Yuan (OR = 1.638, 95% CI: 1.111-2.415, P = 0.013), and mild hallux valgus (OR = 1.974, 95% CI: 1.246-3.127, P = 0.004) as independently linked to proactive practices. Additionally, the structural equation model indicated a direct effect of knowledge on practice (β = 0.765, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Women showed adequate knowledge but suboptimal attitudes and proactive practices concerning hallux valgus. Enhancing patient education is vital for improving understanding and addressing misconceptions regarding this condition.
