Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy: a cross-sectional study in Jordan.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of Jordanian women regarding post-mastectomy breast reconstruction (PMBR), and to recognise key sociodemographic factors influencing these outcomes.
designA descriptive cross-sectional study.
settingCommunity-based settings across Jordan, representing a general population sample.
participantsA total of 752 adult women were enrolled in the study. Eligible participants were women aged 18 years or older who were living in Jordan. Recruitment took place across a variety of community settings. Data were collected on sociodemographic variables such as age, level of education, insurance coverage and any personal history of breast disease. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes were KAP related to PMBR, measured using a standardised, pretested Arabic questionnaire. Secondary outcomes included identifying sociodemographic factors associated with KAP.
resultsParticipants demonstrated moderate knowledge (56.2%), a generally positive attitude (48.6%) and moderate practice levels (42.0%) toward PMBR. Regression analysis indicated that age, level of education, insurance status and personal history of breast disease were significant predictors of KAP outcomes.
conclusionsAwareness and use of PMBR among Jordanian women remain inadequate. These results highlight the need for culturally tailored educational initiatives, improved communication between patients and healthcare providers, and the establishment of national guidelines to facilitate informed decision-making. Further studies are warranted to identify barriers to PMBR uptake and to evaluate the impact of targeted awareness interventions.
