Women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding perimenopausal syndrome in China.

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
backgroundThe incidence of perimenopausal syndrome has increased among women in China, leading to considerable physical and emotional distress. This study aimed to assess women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding perimenopausal syndrome. Unlike previous studies, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of KAP among a broad age range of Chinese women and explores the influence of sociocultural factors on their experiences.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at The Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, China, between April and August 2024. A self-developed questionnaire was used to collect demographic information, KAP data, and life satisfaction scores using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).
resultsA total of 403 valid questionnaires were analyzed; 7.69% of participants had been diagnosed with perimenopausal syndrome. The mean SWLS score was 22.60 ± 5.27 (range: 5-35). The mean knowledge score was 9.86 ± 1.25 (range: 0-12), the mean attitude score was 29.49 ± 2.56 (range: 8-40), and the mean practice score was 32.30 ± 5.25 (range: 9-45). Correlation analysis showed positive associations between knowledge and attitude, attitude and practice, attitude and SWLS, and practice and SWLS (r = 0.112-0.344, P < 0.001). Knowledge was negatively correlated with SWLS (r=-0.133, P = 0.007). Multivariate logistic regression found that both attitude (OR = 1.304, 95% CI: 1.180-1.448, P < 0.001) and SWLS (OR = 1.080, 95% CI: 1.028-1.135, P = 0.002) were positively associated with practice. Structural equation modeling further revealed indirect associations between SWLS and attitude (β=-0.018, 95% CI: -0.032 to -0.009, P = 0.004) and between knowledge and practice (β = 0.366, 95% CI: 0.202-0.519, P = 0.009).
conclusionWomen in China demonstrated good knowledge but only moderate attitudes and practices regarding perimenopausal syndrome. This study highlights the need for educational and behavioral interventions that account for sociocultural influences to improve women's health during the perimenopausal transition.
