Public knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward heat stroke in Ningbo, China: a cross-sectional study.

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: Heat stroke, a severe heat illness with high mortality rates, is increasingly prevalent due to rising temperatures. This study aimed to assess public knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding heat stroke. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Ningbo City from December 10, 2023, to March 21, 2024. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered electronic KAP questionnaire designed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding heat stroke. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 26.0, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, logistic regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: The study enrolled 467 participants, of whom 396 (84.81%) were aged between 18 and 45 years, and 294 (62.96%) were female. The median scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice exceeded 80% of their respective total score dimensions, at 26(range: 23-26), 35(range: 33-35), and 40 points (range: 35-44). Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed direct impacts of knowledge on attitude ( Conclusion: While the Ningbo public showed sufficient general understanding of heat stroke, the study found serious gaps in understanding specific risk factors and preventive measures. The findings suggest tailored health education programs, particularly for young people and less educated populations, to promote community-wide awareness and prevention.
