Knowledge, attitude, and practice of healthcare professionals toward sarcopenia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
To explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of healthcare professionals toward sarcopenia. A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted at Hainan Hospital of P.L.A General Hospital between May 23 and June 20 2024, involving healthcare professionals. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected through a self-administrated questionnaire. A total of 557 valid questionnaires were analyzed (453 females), achieving a validity rate of 89.98%. Mean scores indicated knowledge at 8.39 ± 2.74, attitude at 27.60 ± 2.71, and practice at 34.69 ± 10.78. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that knowledge score (OR = 1.296, P < 0.001), attitude score (OR = 1.507, P < 0.001), male gender (OR = 2.001, P = 0.013), age (OR = 1.042, P = 0.026), and the number of sarcopenia patients seen (11-50 cases: OR = 3.124; 50 + cases: OR = 4.289, both P < 0.001) were independently associated with proactive practice. Structural equation modeling demonstrated significant positive direct effects of knowledge on both attitude (β = 0.869, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 2.385, P < 0.001), as well as attitude on practice (β = 0.378, P = 0.001). Healthcare professionals showed inadequate knowledge and practice regarding sarcopenia; targeted interventions are necessary to enhance understanding and promote proactive engagement.
