Knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards melanoma among patients with melanoma and their family members: 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. 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
This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding melanoma among melanoma patients and their family members. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from April 1, 2023, to March 1, 2024, in hospitals nationwide. Sociodemographic data and KAP scores were assessed through the administered questionnaires. A total of 481 valid questionnaires were included, with 241 (50.10%) identified as patients themselves. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 12.25 ± 5.70 (range: 0-24), 22.87 ± 2.59 (range: 7-35), and 24.46 ± 4.91 (range: 6-30), respectively. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.319, P < 0.001), as well as knowledge and practice (r = 0.319, P < 0.001). Additionally, a correlation was observed between attitude and practice (r = 0.353, P < 0.001). Structural equation modeling (SEM) results demonstrated a direct effect of knowledge on both attitude (β = 0.442, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.174, P = 0.008), as well as an effect of attitude on practice (β = 0.832, p < 0.001). Patients with melanoma and their family members exhibit inadequate knowledge but positive attitudes and proactive practices towards melanoma. Efforts should be directed towards enhancing educational initiatives tailored to improve knowledge about melanoma among patients and their families, thereby reinforcing their already positive attitudes and practices towards melanoma.
