Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of family members of children aged 2-6 years with snoring regarding pediatric snoring and its management.
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 2 papers.
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 aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of family members of children aged 2-6 years who snore, particularly regarding prevention, treatment, and care.
methodsConducted in Shenzhen from July 20 to October 20, 2024, data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing demographics and KAP scores.
resultsA total of 483 valid questionnaires were analyzed, with 318 (65.84%) completed by mothers. The majority of children (164, 33.95%) were 4 years old, and 254 (52.59%) were boys; 237 (49.07%) had snored for 6-12 months. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 9.17 ± 2.98 (range: 0-12), 21.21 ± 1.44 (range: 5-25), and 22.34 ± 3.55 (range: 6-30), respectively. Mediation analysis found that average monthly income per person (β = 0.303, P = 0.005), education or training (β = -5.334, P = 0.020), and gender (β = -0.941, P = 0.012) had significant direct effects on knowledge. Meanwhile, knowledge (β = 0.23, P = 0.011), children's age (β = 0.157, P = 0.006), education or training (β = 0.484, P = 0.008), duration of the child had snoring (β = -0.286, P = 0.007), and education level (β = 0.785, P = 0.014) had significant direct effects on attitude. Further, knowledge (β = 0.590, P = 0.011), attitude (β = 0.428, P = 0.008), employment status (β = -1.609, P = 0.031), children's age (β = 0.22, P = 0.037) had significant direct effects on practice.
conclusionThis study highlight the crucial roles of knowledge and attitude in shaping care practices, and underscore the significant influence of demographic factors (such as income, education/training, and caregiver gender) on KAP scores. These insights suggest that targeted interventions focusing on increasing awareness and providing specific education/training are essential to improve the prevention, treatment, and care practices for childhood snoring.
