Knowledge, attitude and practice towards myopia among parents of primary school students: a cross-sectional study.
Observational study in BMJ open, 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
backgroundMyopia is a common visual condition that requires proper management and prevention strategies, especially among children.
objectiveTo investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards myopia among parents of primary school-age children.
designCross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire. PARTICIPANTS/
settingA total of 552 parents of primary school-age children participated in the study, which was conducted at a primary school in Wuxi City, China, between October and November 2022.
interventionNo intervention was applied; the study was observational, collecting data through questionnaires.
main outcome measuresKAP scores regarding myopia among parents. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify associations between demographic factors and KAP scores.
resultsMean scores for KAP were 8.38±2.29 (theoretical minimum-maximum: 0-12), 25.01±2.79 (theoretical minimum-maximum: 6-30) and 26.37±3.96 (theoretical minimum-maximum: 6-33), respectively. Higher education, income, personal and child myopia and having two children were associated with better knowledge. Parental female gender, higher income, myopia and age 33-44 years were associated with positive attitudes. Better attitudes and having a child in the fourth grade were associated with proactive practices.
conclusionsParents of primary school-age children showed positive attitudes and proactive practices but had inadequate knowledge about myopia. Targeted health education programmes for parents with lower education and income levels could be recommended to improve knowledge and maintain positive attitudes towards myopia management.
