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

This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding osteoporosis and hip fracture among older adults in Ningxia, China, to inform better prevention and management strategies through patient education and lifestyle changes. This cross-sectional study surveyed older adults at Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital (Sep 2022-Nov 2023) using a convenience sampling method, collecting demographic data and assessing KAP scores. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyzed relationships between KAP and demographics. The analysis included 522 (99.4%) valid questionnaires. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 22.66 ± 4.29 (/30, 75.53%), the mean attitude score was 43.13 ± 4.54 (/60, 71.88%), and the mean practice score was 57.15 ± 10.24 (/80, 71.44%), indicating sufficient knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice. In the SEM, knowledge was associated with income (β = 1.01, P < 0.001), frequency of fall prevention (β=-0.55, P < 0.001), residence (β = 0.97, P = 0.030), and falls in the past year (β = 0.76, P = 0.017). Attitude was associated with knowledge (β = 0.21, P < 0.001) and alcohol (β=-1.26, P < 0.001). Practice was associated with attitude (β = 1.09, P < 0.001), frequency of fall prevention (β=-1.86, P < 0.001), and use of anti-osteoporosis drugs (β = 2.63, P < 0.001). Older adults in Ningxia demonstrated generally good KAP toward osteoporosis and hip fracture; however, targeted educational interventions addressing specific knowledge gaps may help further improve preventive practices and support behavior change.
