Patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning endometriosis and its long-term management.

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
backgroundEndometriosis, affecting 10-15% of women, causes pain and infertility. Current treatments have limitations. This study aimed to investigate patients' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) concerning endometriosis and its long-term management.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among patients diagnosed with endometriosis, using a self-designed questionnaire.
resultsA total of 301 valid questionnaires were included. The mean age of the participants was 32.3 ± 6.8 years, and 220 (73.1%) cases or participants. The participants scored a mean of 13.28 ± 5.98 (possible range: 0-24) for knowledge, 28.23 ± 2.38 (possible range: 8-40) for attitude, and 22.56 ± 4.76 (possible range: 7-35) for practice. They indicated a generally poor KAP. The structural equation model revealed that knowledge had a direct influence on attitude (β = 0.287, P = 0.014) and knowledge also directly influenced practice (β = 0.361, P = 0.005). Duration of endometriosis (β = 0.300, P = 0.006), having children (β = -0.127, P = 0.010), ethnicity (β = -0.127, P = 0.010), education (β = 0.217, P = 0.009), and having female relatives with endometriosis (β = -0.202, P = 0.004) had significant direct effects on knowledge. Having children (β = -0.037, P = 0.015), ethnicity (β = -0.037, P = 0.008), having female relatives with endometriosis (β = -0.058, P = 0.004), income (β = -0.176, P = 0.009), drinking (β = 0.318, P = 0.008), and health insurance (β = 0.169, P = 0.016) influenced attitude. Duration of endometriosis diagnosis (β = 0.103, P = 0.006), having children (β = -0.044, P = 0.010), ethnicity (β = -0.242, P = 0.015), education (β = 0.258, P = 0.013), having female relatives with endometriosis (β = -0.293, P = 0.007), and health insurance (β = -0.123, P = 0.030) influenced practice.
conclusionPatients demonstrated inadequate knowledge, moderate attitudes, and practices regarding endometriosis. These findings suggest a need for more targeted educational efforts. Healthcare providers should prioritize education, particularly for individuals from diverse backgrounds and those with limited resources, to enhance patient outcomes.
