Knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward osteoporosis: a questionnaire survey.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Osteoporosis is a prevalent yet often underdiagnosed condition that leads to significant morbidity and healthcare burdens. This study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the community-dwelling adults concerning osteoporosis and its daily management. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1, 2024 to February 1, 2025 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and included outpatients aged 18 years and older. Demographic data and KAP scores were collected, and differences across demographic groups were analyzed. Structural equation modeling examined the relationships and mediation effects among knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Results: A total of 776 valid questionnaires were analyzed. Among the respondents, 458 (59.02%) were female, 376 (48.45%) had taken basic bone health supplements, and 100 (12.89%) had participated in osteoporosis education. The median age of the participants was 39 years (range: 18-76). The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 14.66 ± 9.06 (possible range: 0-38), 43.41 ± 5.00 (possible range: 12-60), and 54.00 ± 13.66 (possible range: 17-85), respectively. Significant positive correlations were found between knowledge and attitude ( Conclusion: The study sample demonstrated insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and suboptimal primary osteoporosis prevention practices. Results indicated that knowledge directly influenced attitude and practice, while attitude directly influenced practice. Targeted educational interventions are crucial to enhance osteoporosis awareness and promote evidence-based preventive behaviors, ultimately improving bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis-related complications.
