Knowledge attitude and practice regarding cancer screening among Chinese medical students.
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
To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of cancer screening among medical students. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted between June and July 2023 across two medical universities in China. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to medical students to collect their demographic characteristics and KAP of cancer screening. A total of 520 valid questionnaires were collected, with 304 (58.46%) females and a mean age of 21.07 ± 2.25 years. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 9.39 ± 3.82 (possible range: 0–20), 31.4 ± 4.06 (possible range: 8–40), and 25.2 ± 7.04 (possible range: 8–40), respectively. Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that knowledge directly influenced attitude (β = 0.140, P = 0.003), attitude directly affected practice (β = 0.145, P = 0.002), and knowledge had a substantial and direct impact on practice impact on practice (β = 0.219, P < 0.001). The study highlights inadequate knowledge, suboptimal attitude, and moderate practice towards cancer screening among medical students. The findings emphasize the need to enrich their knowledge through curriculum enhancements, foster positive attitudes via educational initiatives, and provide practical training opportunities.
