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: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a recognized effective treatment, particularly for patients with complex multivessel disease. However, there is limited research on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of CHD patients toward this surgery. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the KAP of CHD patients regarding CABG. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 13, 2023 to January 25, 2024 at the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Departments of Zhengzhou Seventh People's Hospital through the dissemination of a self-designed KAP questionnaire, which demonstrated good internal consistency with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.921 in the pilot test. Results: A total of 427 participants (mean age 58.05 ± 13.2 years; 62.53% male) were enrolled. Among them, 151 (35.36%) had undergone or are scheduled for CABG. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 6.03±2.16, 43.03±6.61, and 37.7±5.51, respectively. Participants with CABG experience or plans exhibited significantly higher attitude and knowledge scores compared to those without. Correlation analyses showed that there were significant positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.128, P = 0.008) as well as practice (r = 0.202, P < 0.001). Also, there was a correlation between attitude and practice (r = 0.654, P < 0.001). Multivariate analyses showed that attitude score (OR = 1.294, 95% CI: [1.226-1.367], P < 0.001), marital status other than married (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: [1.048-5.136], P = 0.038) were independently associated with proactive practice. Conclusion: CHD patients exhibited insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes and proactive practices regarding CABG. Healthcare professionals should prioritize patient education initiatives aimed at enhancing knowledge regarding CABG, while also reinforcing and leveraging positive attitudes and proactive behaviors to optimize patient outcomes and treatment adherence.
