Knowledge, attitude, and practice towards postmenopausal osteoporosis among postmenopausal women: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: Postmenopausal osteoporosis, affecting 33 % of women over 60 in China, increases fracture risks and significantly impacts quality of life. This condition leads to physical disability and psychological distress, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of postmenopausal women concerning postmenopausal osteoporosis and explore associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 29 to September 8, 2024, at the First People's Hospital of Bengbu City using a self-administered questionnaire to assess KAP, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests. Results: A total of 459 valid participants in the study, of whom 166 (36.17 %) were diagnosed with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Among those diagnosed with osteoporosis, 65 (39.16 %) received systematic treatment. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 10.03 ± 5.47 (range: 0-28), 28.03 ± 3.07 (range: 8-40), and 21.87 ± 5.10 (range: 7-35), respectively. Conclusion: While postmenopausal women demonstrated insufficient knowledge and inadequate practices, targeted educational efforts may help improve osteoporosis-related behaviors and outcomes. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to improve osteoporosis-related knowledge and encourage proactive behaviors in managing the disease.
