Parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding vitamin A and D intake in children: a study from Yangzhou, 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 1 paper.
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
backgroundVitamin deficiency remains a significant global public health issue, especially in pediatric healthcare. This study aimed to access knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of parents from Yangzhou (China) towards vitamin A and D intake in their children.
methodsCross-sectional survey was carried out in Yangzhou, China, between December 2022 and May 2023. Self-designed questionnaire was utilized to gather data on the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) among parents of children aged between 3 months and 12 years.
resultsThe survey yielded 475 valid responses. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency was 8.84% and 4.42%, respectively, while vitamin A deficiency was reported in 0.21% of children. The analysis of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) scores in parents revealed mean values of 4.93 ± 1.92 (with a possible range of 0-13) for Knowledge, 33.73 ± 3.69 (range 10-40) for Attitudes, and 37.07 ± 4.22 (range 10-50) for Practices. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed a significant impact of vitamin knowledge on attitudes (β= -0.059, P < 0.001) and of attitudes on practices (β = 0.772, P < 0.001).
conclusionsParents in Yangzhou (China) had insufficient knowledge, but positive attitudes and moderate practices towards vitamin A and D intake in their children.
