Knowledge, attitude, and practice among parents of myopic children regarding multifocal soft contact lenses.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among parents of myopic children regarding multifocal soft contact lenses.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Chongqing Eye and Vision Care Hospital from July 2024 to September 2024, targeting parents of myopic children. A structured questionnaire was administered to gather demographic data and assess KAP scores from respondents. Sufficient knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice were defined as scores > 70% of the possible maximum score in each dimension.
resultsA total of 547 non-problematic responses were analyzed, with 344 respondents (62.9%) identifying as female. Additionally, 173 respondents (31.6%) reported that their children used multifocal soft contact lenses. The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, myopia management practices, and practices related to the use of multifocal soft contact lenses were 12.50 ± 4.77 (range: 0-22), 33.87 ± 2.61 (range: 9-45), 20.25 ± 2.65 (range: 5-25), and 21.11 ± 2.13 (range: 5-25), respectively. Structural equation modeling revealed that knowledge exerted a direct effect on attitude (β = 0.706, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.213, P = 0.012), while attitude had a direct effect on practice (β = 0.293, P = 0.001). Additionally, knowledge had an indirect effect on practice via attitude (β = 0.207, P = 0.001).
conclusionsParents of myopic children exhibited insufficient knowledge but generally positive attitudes and proactive practices toward the use of multifocal soft contact lenses. Implementing educational initiatives aimed at enhancing parents' knowledge may lead to more informed and effective myopia management practices for children.
