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

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding nutrition among patients diagnosed with malignant tumors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 16 October 2023 to 30 April 2024, in author's hospital. Demographic information and KAP were collected through structured questionnaires. Results: The study analyzed 535 patients. Males were 370 (69.16%), and 213 (39.81%) reported nutritional supplement use. The mean (±SD) scores were 10.88 ± 6.02 for knowledge, 15.46 ± 3.15 for attitude, and 33.13 ± 5.19 for practice. In multivariable analyses, primary school education or below ( Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with malignant tumors exhibited inadequate knowledge and negative attitudes, although the practice was proactive, there was still room for improvement on specific practice. Targeted, multidisciplinary, and continuous nutritional education may be considered to support better nutritional awareness, patient-centered care, and overall quality of life.
