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: Hip surgery is a critical medical procedure that necessitates specialized postoperative care. The knowledge, attitudes, and practice of family caregivers are pivotal in ensuring patient recovery and minimizing complications. This study is aimed at exploring these three key aspects among caregivers. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study included 215 family caregivers selected through convenience sampling from Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan. The data collection tool was a researcher-developed questionnaire consisting of four sections: demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP). Data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 26, employing descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation, independent Results: Among the caregivers, 69.8% were female and 30.2% were male, with the majority (41.9%) aged between 42 and 51 years, and 33.5% holding a diploma. The mean attitude score (84.82 ± 5.22) was higher than both the practice score (78.65 ± 5.14) and the knowledge score (74.68 ± 6.29). The strongest and most direct correlation was found between practice and knowledge ( Conclusion: Enhancing caregiver knowledge, along with factors such as Iranian nationality and caregiving history, plays a crucial role in improving patient care behavior. It is recommended to develop targeted training programs for inexperienced and non-Iranian caregivers to enhance the quality of care provided.
