Knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward sarcopenia among maintenance dialysis patients in Anhui, China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTo explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) toward sarcopenia among maintenance dialysis (MHD) patients in Anhui.
methodsThis multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2022 among MHD patients in the Anhui Province, China. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect their demographic characteristics and KAP toward sarcopenia.
resultsA total of 1548 questionnaires were collected, with 909 (58.72%) being valid. The average knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 4.45 ± 4.21 (possible range: 0-12), 28.21 ± 3.71 (possible range: 8-40), and 18.04 ± 4.28 (possible range: 7-35) points, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression showed that 5.1-10 years of dialysis (OR = 0.38, 95% CI: [0.15, 0.97]) and attitude scores (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: [1.25, 1.48]) were independently associated with practice. The structural equation model showed that knowledge had a direct effect on attitudes (β = 0.38, 95% CI: [0.33, 0.44]) and practice (β = 0.18, 95% CI: [0.11, 0.24]) and had an indirect effect on practice though attitudes (β = 0.42, 95% CI: [0.35, 0.50]).
conclusionThe MHD patients in Anhui showed insufficient knowledge and moderate attitudes and practices toward sarcopenia. Proactive practice might be facilitated and achieved by improving knowledge and attitudes.
