Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward cervical spondylosis among the healthy general population.
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 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 aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the healthy general population toward cervical spondylosis.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among healthy individuals at Peking University Third Hospital between May and December 2023, utilizing a self-designed questionnaire.
resultsA total of 506 valid questionnaires were collected, of which 276 (64.94%) were completed by females. The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 4.07 ± 1.24 (range: 0-8), 35.69 ± 3.67 (range: 9-45), and 27.01 ± 4.38 (range: 9-36), respectively. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that knowledge had a direct influence on both attitudes (β = 0.589, P = 0.002) and practices (β = 0.353, P = 0.020). Furthermore, attitudes had a direct effect on practices (β = 0.442, P < 0.001).
conclusionThe healthy general population demonstrated inadequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and suboptimal practices regarding cervical spondylosis. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to improve public awareness and foster healthier practices in managing cervical spondylosis.
