Knowledge, attitude, and practice of medical staffs in the operating room towards unintentional perioperative hypothermia prevention: A multicenter cross-sectional study.

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
This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical staff regarding the prevention of unintentional perioperative hypothermia. This multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled medical staffs in northern China between September and November 2022. A total of 213 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 5.36 ± 2.06 (total score of 12), 47.54 ± 5.44 (total score of 55), and 31.57 ± 4.37 (total score of 40), respectively. The participant demographics included 14 surgeons (6.57%), 29 anesthesiologists (13.62%), and 170 operating room nurses (79.81%). Significant differences were observed in the knowledge (P = 0.046) and practices (P = 0.023) related to perioperative hypothermia among surgeons, anesthesiologists, and operating room nurses. Pearson correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between knowledge and attitudes (r = 0.21, P = 0.002), knowledge and practices (r = 0.23, P = 0.001), as well as attitudes and practices (r = 0.57, P < 0.001). Structural equation modeling indicated that knowledge had a direct effect on attitudes (β = 0.56, P = 0.002) and an indirect effect on practices (β = 0.25, P = 0.003). Additionally, attitudes had a direct effect on practices (β = 0.45, P < 0.001). This study concluded that knowledge regarding the prevention of unintentional perioperative hypothermia was inadequate; however, most participants exhibited a positive attitude and acceptable practices. Targeted interventions are necessary to enhance understanding and implementation in clinical settings.
