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

objectivesThis study assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of pregnant women in Chongqing, China, regarding pre-eclampsia and examined their inter-relationships.

designA cross-sectional survey was conducted using validated questionnaires.

settingThe study was conducted between May 2023 and August 2023 in Chongqing, China.

participantsA total of 427 pregnant women were included, with 68.15% aged ≤30 years and a mean pregnancy duration of 238.18±45.01 days.

interventionsThis was an observational study, and interventions were applied. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes were the KAP scores (knowledge: 0-40; attitude: 12-60 and practice: 10-50). The correlations and structural equation modelling (SEM) analyses were conducted to explore the relationships among KAP.

resultsMean scores were 22.19±12.17 (knowledge), 46.38±6.14 (attitude) and 41.96±5.96 (practice). Knowledge positively correlated with attitude (r=0.586, p<0.001) and practice (r=0.387, p<0.001). Attitude correlated with practice (r=0.593, p<0.001). SEM showed knowledge directly influenced attitude (β=0.716, p<0.001), while attitude directly affected practice (β=0.444, p<0.001). Knowledge indirectly impacted practice via attitude (β=0.151, p=0.001).

conclusionsPregnant women exhibited inadequate knowledge and a suboptimal attitude but a proactive practice. Targeted interventions to improve knowledge and attitudes are recommended for better clinical outcomes, particularly in regions where few such studies have been conducted.
