Knowledge, attitude, and practice of family members of children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae: a cross-sectional study.
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 assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of family members regarding Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children. This cross-sectional study collected demographic data and KAP scores from family members of children with M. pneumoniae infection at the People's Hospital of Dongxihu, Wuhan, from March to July 2024. A total of 521 family members participated in this study. The average age of family members was 37.65 ± 7.27 years, and the average age of children was 6.60 ± 3.64 years. The average scores were 8.88 ± 4.52 for knowledge (possible range: 0-20), 33.07 ± 3.72 for attitude (possible range: 8-40), and 35.22 ± 4.28 for practice (possible range: 8-40). Positive correlations were observed among the KAP dimensions, with knowledge showing a strong correlation with both attitude (r = 0.189, P < 0.001) and practice (r = 0.569, P < 0.001). The structural equation model demonstrated that knowledge had a total effect on both attitude (β = 0.415, 95%CI 0.327-0.501, P = 0.009) and practice (β = 0.430, 95%CI 0.353-0.502, P = 0.007). Additionally, the attitude had a direct effect on practice (β = 0.680, 95%CI 0.567-0.747, P = 0.020). The indirect effect of knowledge on practice through attitude was also significant (β = 0.282, 95%CI 0.227-0.351, P = 0.007). Family members showed positive attitudes but lacked knowledge about M. pneumoniae infection, highlighting the need for targeted educational efforts. The results imply that improving knowledge about M. pneumoniae infection should also improve attitude and practice, possibly resulting in better patient outcomes.
