Knowledge, attitude and practice towards healthy diet and their determinants among readymade garment workers in Bangladesh: 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 examine the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) related to a healthy diet and explore the associations between the KAP and sociodemographic variables among readymade garment (RMG) workers in Bangladesh.
designA secondary analysis of cross-sectional data. SETTINGS: Two garment industries in Dhaka and Mymensingh.
participants801 RMG workers. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The knowledge level was assessed using eight questions aimed at exploring the workers' knowledge of healthy diets. 16 statements were used to assess attitude towards a healthy diet, which could be answered on a 5-point Likert scale. A 7-day food frequency questionnaire with foods arranged into eight food groups was used to assess healthy dietary practices. The KAP score was categorised as poor (within 0%-50% of the maximum possible score), fair (within 51%-75% of the maximum possible score) and good (above 75% of the maximum possible score).
resultsOverall, 39%, 18.2% and 42% of the workers had good KAP related to a healthy diet, respectively. Milk and fruit consumption frequency was low among the workers. The KAP score was significantly higher among workers with higher educational levels (p<0.001) and higher-income groups (p<0.01). Moreover, a significantly higher KAP score was found among the workers who used the internet (p<0.001) and watched television programmes (p=0.044).
conclusionsProgrammes on nutrition education at the factory and community levels and broadcasting nutrition-related programmes on television and the internet for garment workers could be effective in augmenting their KAP towards healthy diets.
