Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the functional status of arteriovenous fistulas among hemodialysis patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to the functional status of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) among patients undergoing hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2025 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, employing a self-developed questionnaire for data collection. Among 536 respondents (62.1% male), the mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 14.74 ± 4.89 (possible range: 0-20), 42.84 ± 4.87 (possible range: 10-50), and 40.75 ± 7.89 (possible range: 10-50), respectively. Statistically significant positive correlations were identified between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.682, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.711, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.622, P = 0.001). Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that knowledge directly influenced both attitude (β = 0.752, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.388, P < 0.001), while attitude also had a direct effect on practice (β = 0.449, P < 0.001). Furthermore, knowledge exerted an indirect effect on practice through attitude (β = 0.337, P < 0.001). These findings underscore the necessity for structured and continuous patient education interventions to enhance AVF maintenance and improve long-term dialysis outcomes.
