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

Purpose: To examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) regarding environmental control and treatment. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to October 2024 at Beijing Tongren Hospital involving patients with AR. Data collection and KAP score assessments were performed using a valid, self-designed questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to assess relationships among KAP dimensions and demographic factors. Results: A total of 393 valid questionnaires were included, with 206 participants (52.42%) identified as female and 168 (42.75%) diagnosed with AR for over five years. The mean ± SD scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 12.06 ± 4.19 (range: 0-20), 28.62 ± 4.30 (range: 9-45), and 33.14 ± 6.15 (range: 10-50), indicating insufficient knowledge and moderate attitude and practice. Knowledge was positively correlated with attitude (r = 0.277, P < 0.001) and practice (r = 0.527, P < 0.001), and attitude was positively correlated with practice (r = 0.283, P < 0.001). SEM indicated that employment status and marital status were significantly associated with KAP scores. Smoking habits and family history showed direct negative associations with knowledge, attitude, and practice. Conclusion: Patients with AR show insufficient knowledge, along with moderate attitudes and practices toward environmental control and treatment. To improve AR management, healthcare providers should implement educational interventions that address knowledge deficits and foster positive attitudes and practices.
