The Application of a Combined Online and Offline Health Intervention Model for Assessing Parents' KAP About Testicular Torsion: A Self-Controlled 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
aimTo assess the efficacy of a combined online and offline health intervention model tailored to the needs of the study population in the levels of knowledge, beliefs and behaviours of parents about testicular torsion.
designA cross-sectional and a self-controlled study.
methodsFrom March to July 2023, a convenience sampling method was employed to select 500 parents of male children from a kindergarten and a primary school in a city in Guizhou Province, China. A pre- and post-intervention survey was conducted utilising a self-designed questionnaire to assess the parents' existing knowledge, beliefs and behaviours concerning testicular torsion. This survey utilised a design tailored to the study, incorporating both before and after control measures.
resultsA total of 476 children's parents completed a 3-month health intervention in this study. Knowledge of testicular torsion among children's parents increased from 21.71% before the intervention to 74.85% after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (
conclusionThe health intervention, combining both online and offline methods, significantly improved parental knowledge of testicular torsion. It also effectively shifted parental beliefs and behaviours toward more proactive management of the condition. This model demonstrates considerable potential for practical implementation of testicular torsion knowledge among parents, thereby potentially reducing critical response times in clinical scenarios. IMPACT: The current study highlights the effectiveness of a comprehensive health intervention model that integrates online and offline components in enhancing the knowledge and beliefs of parents regarding testicular torsion. Additionally, it provides novel insights for enhancing parental knowledge and beliefs about testicular torsion, aiming to mitigate prehospital delays and reduce the likelihood of orchiectomy.
