Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward allergic rhinitis among parents in Ningbo, China.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThis study examined the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward allergic rhinitis (AR) among parents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled parents of children with AR at Ningbo Hangzhou Bay Hospital between December 2022 and March 2023. A self-administered questionnaire was developed to collect the demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward AR.
resultsThis study included 480 questionnaires, and 78.33% were mothers. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 13.49 ± 6.62 (possible range: 0-24), 33.99 ± 3.40 (possible range: 8-40), and 21.52 ± 3.36 (possible range: 5-26), indicating poor knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practice. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed living in urban areas in Ningbo outside Hangzhou Bay New Zone (OR = 4.33, 95%CI: 1.52-12.34, P = 0.006), living in rural areas in Ningbo (OR = 2.15, 95%CI: 1.00-4.59, P = 0.049), being self-employed (OR = 1.99, 95%CI: 1.00-3.95, P = 0.049), monthly income per capita ≥ 20,000 CNY (OR = 1.89, 95%CI: 1.02-3.47, P = 0.042), child with one biological sibling (OR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.30-0.78, P = 0.003), and ≥ 6 times hospital visits for AR (OR = 2.32, 95%CI: 1.40-3.86, P = 0.001) were independently associated with adequate knowledge. The knowledge (OR = 1.09, 95%CI: 1.05-1.13, P < 0.001) and ≥ 6 times hospital visits for AR (OR = 1.84, 95%CI: 1.06-3.22, P = 0.032) were independently associated with a positive attitude. The knowledge (OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 1.04-1.13, P = 0.001), attitude (OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.28-1.55, P < 0.001), monthly income per capita ≥ 20,000 CNY (OR = 3.59, 95%CI: 1.49-8.65, P = 0.004), no previous hospital visit for AR (OR = 0.35, 95%CI: 0.16-0.78, P = 0.003), and ≥ 6 times hospital visits for AR (OR = 0.40, 95%CI: 0.20-0.81, P = 0.011) were independently associated with the practice scores.
conclusionsThe parents of children with AR had poor knowledge but positive attitudes and proactive practice toward AR. This study has identified a need for specific and reliable information initiatives to be introduced as a means of reducing parental concern and ensuring evidence-based strategies for managing children with AR.
