Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards blood donation among donors: a cross-sectional study in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards blood donation among blood donors.
designA cross-sectional study was conducted.
settingThe study surveyed voluntary blood donors in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
participantsA total of 580 voluntary blood donors participated in the survey between May 2024 and June 2024.
interventionsAn investigator-designed questionnaire was administered to collect demographic data and assess participants' KAP regarding blood donation. OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome measures included the KAP scores of blood donors.
resultsAnalysis revealed a mean knowledge score of 19.37±4.05 (possible range: 0-22), an attitude score of 46.28±4.45 (possible range: 10-50) and a practice score of 23.37±5.67 (possible range: 6-30). Knowledge scores correlated positively with attitude (r=0.580, p<0.001) and practice scores (r=0.494, p<0.001). Furthermore, attitude scores showed a strong correlation with practice scores (r=0.618, p<0.001). Structural equation modelling indicated that knowledge directly influenced attitudes (β=0.622, 95% CI 0.539 to 0.704, p=0.007) and had an indirect influence on practices (β=0.411, 95% CI 0.329 to 0.536, p=0.005). Attitudes directly influenced practices (β=0.661, 95% CI 0.554 to 0.761, p=0.006).
conclusionsBlood donors exhibited good knowledge and positive attitudes, but their practices were suboptimal. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to enhance participation in blood donation.
