Knowledge, attitudes, and willingness of patients with thyroid diseases toward thyroid thermal ablation techniques.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and willingness (KAW) of patients with thyroid disease regarding thyroid thermal ablation techniques and explore the factors associated with KAW. This cross-sectional survey was conducted at Yantai Hospital of Shandong Wendeng Orthopaedics & Traumatology and Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College between October 2022 and March 2023. This study included 632 patients; 66.14% were female. The mean knowledge, attitude, and willingness scores were 6.03 ± 2.42 (possible range: 0-10), 17.52 ± 2.91 (possible range: 5-25), and 33.02 ± 6.34 (possible range: 8-40), indicating poor knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive willingness. Multivariable analysis showed that ≥ 51 years old, urban areas, consuming alcohol, medical treatment, and surgical treatment were independently associated with adequate knowledge. The knowledge scores, ≥ 51 years old, females, urban areas, medical treatment, and surgical treatment were independently associated with a positive attitude. Only the attitude scores were independently associated with proactive willingness. Patients with thyroid diseases have poor knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practice toward thermal ablation. Sustained efforts are required to increase knowledge about thyroid thermal ablation techniques.
