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: Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability, with rising incidence in young adults. This study evaluates the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) regarding stroke among young stroke patients aged 18-45 years. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from January 15 to June 5, 2025, in Shanxi Province, China. Data from 445 young stroke patients were analyzed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to explore the relationships among KAP domains. Results: The average KAP scores were 23.69±8.48, 43.71±4.84, and 40.32±5.68, respectively. SEM analysis revealed that knowledge directly influenced both attitudes (β=0.519, P=0.011) and practices (β=0.494, P=0.005). Furthermore, knowledge had a significant indirect effect on practices through attitudes (β=0.218, P=0.006). SEM analysis revealed that knowledge directly influenced both attitudes and practices, while attitudes partially mediated the relationship between knowledge and practice. Conclusion: Young stroke patients demonstrated positive attitudes and moderate practices but had insufficient knowledge. This knowledge-practice gap underscores the urgent need for targeted educational interventions, such as digital health tools and community workshops, to improve secondary stroke prevention.
