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
Background: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of postmenopausal women toward postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March and July 2024 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University among postmenopausal women, using a self-administered questionnaire. KAP scores ≥70% were defined as adequate levels based on previous literature. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was constructed based on the KAP theoretical framework to examine the relationships among knowledge, attitude, and practice. Results: A total of 466 valid questionnaires were analyzed, with a validity rate of 97.69%. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 14.08 ± 7.90 (range: 0-30), 24.45 ± 2.43 (range: 7-35), and 16.42 ± 3.96 (range: 5-25), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that knowledge was negatively associated with practice (OR = 0.936, 95% CI: [0.910-0.962], P < 0.001). Additionally, education level (OR = 1.752, 95% CI: [1.110-2.766], P = 0.016) and marital status (OR = 0.392, 95% CI: [0.167-0.917], P = 0.031) were independently associated with better practice. The structural equation model results indicated that knowledge was significantly associated with attitude (β = 0.481, 95% CI: 0.402-0.570, P = 0.009), and was negatively associated with practice (β = -0.324, 95% CI: -0.460-0.199, P = 0.011). Conclusion: Postmenopausal women showed poor PMOP knowledge and prevention practices, with a notable knowledge-practice gap. Higher knowledge levels were associated with poorer preventive practices, suggesting that knowledge alone may not translate into appropriate health behaviors. Targeted interventions addressing both awareness and behavioral barriers are needed.
