Parents' or Guardians' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in the Prevention and Management of Childhood Myopia.
Article in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
introductionThe aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of parents or guardians regarding the prevention and management of childhood myopia.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (Suzhou, China) between August 2023 and November 2023. Parents or guardians who willingly volunteered to take part in the study were surveyed using a self-designed questionnaire.
resultsA total of 571 participants returned valid questionnaires, among whom 288 respondents (50.44%) fell within the 31- to 40-year age group and 474 respondents (83.01%) were identified as myopic. The mean KAP scores for the knowledge, attitude and practices dimensions were 23.34 ± 3.05 (possible range: 0-26), 46.47 ± 4.02 (possible range: 12-60), and 40.52 ± 7.07 (possible range: 11-54), respectively. Structural equation modeling analysis indicated that education had a direct effect on knowledge (estimate = 0.41, P = 0.038), while knowledge directly influenced both attitude (estimate = 0.40, P < 0.001) and practices (estimate = 0.36, P < 0.001). Also, attitude was found to have a direct impact on practices (estimate = 0.45, P < 0.001).
conclusionsParents or guardians had adequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and proactive practices towards the prevention and management of childhood myopia, which might be affected by their educational level. This comprehensive understanding of parental perspectives highlights the potential for targeted interventions in clinical settings to further enhance pediatric eye care.
