Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of adult patients with myopia toward refractive surgery and postoperative medications: a cross-sectional study.

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
Introduction: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of adult patients with myopia regarding refractive surgery and the use of postoperative medications. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between July 2024 and November 2024 at The Affiliated Hospital of Panzhihua University. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Results: A total of 433 valid responses were collected. Among the participants, 231 (53.3%) were female, 216 (49.9%) had a spherical equivalent refractive error between -3.00 and -6.00 diopters in both eyes, and 154 (35.6%) reported daily screen time ranging from 6 to 12 h. The mean (SD) knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 10.60 (range: 0-18), 38.61 (range: 11-55), and 18.81 (range: 6-30), respectively, where the ranges indicate the minimum and maximum achievable scores. Significant positive correlations were found among knowledge, attitude and practice ( Conclusion: Patients with myopia demonstrated insufficient knowledge and suboptimal practices despite generally positive attitudes toward refractive surgery and postoperative care. These findings highlight the urgent need for structured patient education strategies to improve adherence and optimize postoperative visual quality.
