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

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of esophageal cancer patients concerning pulmonary rehabilitation training. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Henan Cancer Hospital from July 1, 2024, to August 31, 2024. Data were collected through questionnaires that gathered demographic information and KAP scores. Results: A total of 530 esophageal cancer patients participated, including 197 (37.17%) regular smokers and 145 (27.36%) regular alcohol consumers. The mean ± SD scores were 7.78 ± 4.56 for knowledge (range: 0-20), 40.42 ± 4.66 for attitudes (range: 10-50), and 21.13 ± 3.08 for practices (range: 5-25). Correlation analyses showed positive relationships between knowledge and attitude scores ( Conclusion: Esophageal cancer patients showed inadequate knowledge but positive attitudes and proactive practices regarding pulmonary rehabilitation. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to improve patient knowledge, enhancing overall engagement in rehabilitation practices.
