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

aimTo assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding deep vein thrombosis (DVT) among pregnant and postpartum women in Xiamen, China.

designA cross-sectional study using self-designed questionnaires was conducted.

methodsFrom October 18 to October 28, 2023, questionnaires were distributed to pregnant and postpartum women. Logistic regression and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to analyse factors associated with KAP scores.

resultsA total of 609 participants completed the study. The average scores were: knowledge 4.19/11, attitude 36.38/50, and practice 26.68/35. Higher knowledge, higher education, and higher income were independently associated with higher practice scores. The SEM showed that knowledge directly positively affected attitude and practice, and influenced practice indirectly through attitude.

conclusionsPregnant and postpartum women in Xiamen have poor knowledge but neutral attitudes and acceptable practices regarding DVT. Knowledge is linked to attitude and practice, with attitude mediating the effect of knowledge on practice. Awareness campaigns to improve attitudes are essential for promoting preventive practices. REPORTING

methodWe have adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines and STROBE reporting methods. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
