Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding arteriovenous fistulas among uremic patients undergoing haemodialysis in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding arteriovenous fistula (AVF) care in uremic patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD).
designA web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among uremic patients receiving HD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between April 2023 and June 2023.
settingThe study took place at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.
participantsA total of 522 valid questionnaires were collected from patients undergoing HD, representing 85.57% of the 610 patients eligible for the study.
interventionsPathway analysis was used to assess the interplay among KAP scores related to AVF care in the participants. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The study evaluated KAP scores (ranging 0-20, 8-40 and 6-30, respectively) to gauge patients' KAP regarding AVF care.
resultsThe findings indicated that patients exhibited adequate knowledge, positive attitudes and proactive practices towards AVF care. Patients' knowledge directly influenced their attitudes and practices, with attitudes also positively impacting practices. Additionally, knowledge indirectly affected practices through attitudes.
conclusionsUremic patients undergoing HD demonstrated satisfactory understanding, favourable attitudes and proactive behaviours concerning AVF care. The pathway analysis provided insights into the relationships between KAP, illustrating the direct and indirect effects of these factors on each other in the context of AVF care among patients.
