Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding lumbar disc herniation among diagnosed patients.

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
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) regarding their condition. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and September 2024 at Tongren Hospital in Shanghai and the Seventh People's Hospital of Changzhou, targeting patients diagnosed with LDH. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected and evaluated through a structured questionnaire. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to assess the level of disability experienced by patients in daily activities. Results: A total of 395 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding an effective rate of 84.40%. Of the respondents, 205 (51.90%) were female, 201 (50.89%) had undergone surgical treatment. The mean ± SD scores for knowledge, attitude, practice, and ODI were 14.91 ± 5.07 (possible range: 0-22), 39.26 ± 3.78 (possible range: 10-50), 39.48 ± 6.70 (possible range: 11-55), and 12.92 ± 9.60 (possible range: 0-50), respectively. The Structural Equation Model indicated that knowledge had a direct effect on both attitude ( Conclusion: Patients with LDH demonstrated inadequate knowledge but generally positive attitudes and proactive practices regarding their condition, along with a moderate level of disability related to low back pain. Improving patient education, particularly focusing on enhancing knowledge, may foster more positive attitudes and better self-management practices, potentially reducing disability.
