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

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and performance of the first secondary-level students in preventing COVID-19 in the schools of Khorramabad in 2022. Methods: In our study, the information, knowledge, attitude, and performance of 370 first-grade secondary school students were recorded using a standard questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 26 software and descriptive statistical methods (mean and standard deviation) and appropriate inferential tests to compare groups and examine the correlation between knowledge, attitude, and performance. Findings: The average score of knowledge, attitude, and performance was 59.11 ± 20.51, 81.25 ± 13.68, and 65.4 ± 23.1. The average score of knowledge in students over 14 years of age, ninth-grade students and good academic status, the score of knowledge and attitude of students with mothers with university education, and finally, the average score of knowledge, attitude, and performance of students with underlying disease were significantly higher than other students. Also, knowledge had a direct and significant relationship with attitude and performance. In addition, attitude and performance also had a direct and significant relationship. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of the people was average, and attitude and performance were positive. Based on the importance of performance, people's attitude towards COVID-19 should be improved, because knowledge alone cannot improve people's performance.
