Knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward postoperative fatigue syndrome among postoperative patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This cross-sectional study, conducted January 15-June 30, 2025 at Jilin Province FAW General Hospital, assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of postoperative patients regarding postoperative fatigue syndrome (POFS), a multifactorial condition characterized by persistent fatigue, reduced energy, and functional impairment following surgery that cannot be relieved by rest. Among 310 valid responses, knowledge scored a median of 3 out of 20, while attitude and practice medians were 36/45 and 32/45 respectively. Multivariate linear regression identified knowledge (β = 0.348, 95% CI 0.225-0.470, P < 0.001), attitude (β = 0.491, 95% CI 0.350-0.632, P < 0.001), monthly per capita household income of 5,000-20,000 yuan (β = 2.485, 95% CI 1.210-5.107, P = 0.013), and presence of POFS (β = 1.831, 95% CI 0.684-2.979, P = 0.002) as independent factors associated with practice scores. Structural equation modeling suggested potential direct effects of knowledge (β = 0.290, P = 0.009) and attitude (β = 0.361, P = 0.003) on practice. The findings suggest overall poor POFS knowledge, relatively positive attitudes, and suboptimal self-management practices, underscoring the need for targeted patient education to improve recovery outcomes and reduce systemic healthcare burden.
