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: Digital health information platforms have become important channels for public health science communication and emergency prevention knowledge. However, uncertainty about content accuracy, information disclosure, privacy protection, and communication behavior may weaken public trust and reduce the conversion of health knowledge into protective behavior. Methods: Based on protection motivation theory and information adoption theory, this study constructed and tested a model linking public perceived compliance, knowledge absorption willingness, and health protective behaviors. Survey data were used to examine the associations between four dimensions of perceived compliance and health protective behaviors, as well as the mediating role of knowledge absorption willingness. Results: Perceived content compliance, information disclosure compliance, privacy protection compliance, and communication behavior compliance were positively associated with knowledge absorption willingness. Knowledge absorption willingness was positively associated with health protective behaviors and fully mediated the relationship between the four dimensions of perceived compliance and health protective behaviors. Conclusion: Platform compliance governance can support digital public health communication by strengthening users' willingness to absorb health knowledge and convert it into protective behavior. The findings provide policy implications for health information quality control, privacy protection, and coordinated regulation in public health emergency knowledge dissemination.
