Knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward atherosclerosis and ultrasound screening in adults in Shanghai.

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 investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding atherosclerosis ultrasound screening among adults in the general population of Shanghai. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 5 to May 30, 2024, at the Department of Ultrasound Medicine, Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital, involving the general public. An investigator-designed questionnaire collected demographic information and KAP scores. Path analysis was performed to assess the relationships between overall KAP scores, with subgroup analysis for participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). A total of 617 valid questionnaires were analyzed, revealing a high reliability coefficient of 0.949. Mean KAP scores were as follows: knowledge 9.73 ± 5.80 (/24, 40.54%), attitude 56.38 ± 10.94 (/65, 86.74%), and practice 21.66 ± 5.54 (/35, 61.89%), indicating poor knowledge but positive attitudes and proactive practices. Knowledge significantly influenced both attitude (β = 0.354, P = 0.028) and practice (β = 0.357, P = 0.021). In participants with CVD, mean scores were 11.14 ± 4.10 for knowledge, 59.69 ± 11.94 for attitude, and 23.17 ± 5.32 for practice. In the general Shanghai population, knowledge about atherosclerosis ultrasound screening is poor, yet attitudes are positive, and practices are proactive. Targeted educational interventions are necessary to enhance knowledge and attitudes, thus improving screening practices.
