Knowledge, attitude, and practice of cervical spondylosis in the general public.
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
To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding cervical spondylosis (CS) among the general public in China, and to identify factors associated with these KAP components. This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and June 2023 among general public, using a self-designed questionnaire. A total of 536 valid questionnaires were included. The KAP scores were 6 (5-7) for knowledge, 25 (24-39) for attitude, and 25 (23-29) for practice, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.093, P = 0.030), between knowledge and practice (r = 0.325, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that sitting time per day (OR 0.371, P = 0.020), household income above 5,000 Yuan per month (OR 0.488 ~ 0.555, P < 0.05), and unclear family history of CS were statistically associated with knowledge. Education (OR 3.577, P = 0.027), household income above 10,000 Yuan per month (OR 2.417, P = 0.012) were independently associated with attitude. Knowledge (OR 1.491, P < 0.001), middle aged participants (OR 1.918, P = 0.011) were independently associated with practice. The general public showed relatively adequate knowledge, and moderate attitude and practice towards CS. Associations were observed between KAP and demographic factors. Due to the cross-sectional design, causality cannot be established. Therefore, implications for health education should be viewed as preliminary and require confirmation through larger, multi-center, longitudinal studies.
