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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding seborrheic dermatitis among patients with seborrheic dermatitis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 12 to October 31, 2025, at the Liupanshui Municipal People's Hospital, China. Data were collected using a structured, pilot-tested Chinese questionnaire that assessed demographic characteristics and three KAP dimensions. Results: A total of 387 patients were included, with a mean age of 31.8 years; most were female (70.5%) and had an associate degree or higher (64.9%). The mean knowledge score was 8.81 ± 6.74 (possible range: 0-22), the mean attitude score was 30.80 ± 3.34 (possible range: 8-40), and the mean practice score was 32.07 ± 7.13 (possible range: 10-50). Knowledge scores were below the 70% threshold, whereas attitude scores exceeded the threshold and practice scores did not. Knowledge was positively correlated with attitudes (r = 0.327, P < 0.001) and practices (r = 0.530, P < 0.001), and attitudes were positively correlated with practices (r = 0.515, P < 0.001). Structural equation modeling showed a significant direct statistical association between knowledge and attitudes (β = 0.798, P = 0.004) and between attitudes and practices (β = 1.028, P = 0.010), with knowledge demonstrating an indirect statistical association with practices through attitudes (β = 0.820, P = 0.005). Conclusion: Participants demonstrated limited perceived knowledge, generally positive attitudes, and suboptimal self-management practices related to seborrheic dermatitis. Furthermore, attitudes were statistically associated with both knowledge and practices, highlighting that knowledge alone is insufficient for effective self-management. Clinically, prospective studies are needed to determine whether a structured approach to patient education combined with counseling focused on patients' underlying beliefs can improve long-term disease control and treatment adherence.
