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: To assess the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among orthopedic surgery patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and October, 2024, in the Inner Mongolia region at a single center. A self-developed structured questionnaire (informed by relevant VTE guidelines and prior KAP studies) was used to collect demographic information and KAP scores related to VTE prevention and treatment. Descriptive statistics, group comparisons, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling were conducted. Results: A total of 545 orthopedic surgery patients participated in the study. Among the respondents, 279 (51.19%) were male, and 252 (46.24%) reported a prior history of VTE. Additionally, 326 patients (59.82%) reported using anticoagulant medications for thrombosis prevention. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 4.48 ± 2.37 (possible range: 0-12), 30.28 ± 5.64 (possible range: 8-40), and 23.65 ± 5.54 (possible range: 6-30), respectively. In the correlation analysis, significant positive correlations were found between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.128, Conclusion: Orthopedic surgery patients demonstrated insufficient knowledge but generally positive attitude and proactive practice concerning the prevention and treatment of VTE. Enhancing patient education on VTE prevention and management should be prioritized to bridge the knowledge gap, leveraging their positive attitude to improve compliance with evidence-based practice.
