Knowledge, attitude and practice towards glaucoma among ophthalmic inpatients: a cross-sectional study in Hunan, China.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. 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
objectivesGlaucoma is an optic neuropathy caused by the gradual degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards glaucoma among ophthalmic inpatients.
designA web-based questionnaire.
settingLocal hospital.
participantsOphthalmic inpatients (n=1238). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the patients' KAP.
resultsMultivariable logistic regression analysis showed that rural residence (OR=0.488, 95% CI 0.313 to 0.762, p=0.002), college education or above (OR=4.996, 95% CI 2.942 to 8.483, p<0.001) and a history of glaucoma surgery (OR=3.511, 95% CI 2.234 to 5.520, p<0.001) were independently associated with good knowledge. The knowledge scores (OR=1.592, 95% CI 1.461 to 1.734, p<0.001), high or technical school education (OR=1.911, 95% CI 1.037 to 3.523, p=0.038), college education or above (OR=2.402, 95% CI 1.045 to 5.522, p=0.039) and a history of glaucoma surgery (OR=1.993, 95% CI 1.041 to 3.816, p=0.037) were independently associated with positive attitude. The multicollinearity tests showed no collinearity among the variables included in the multivariable models.
conclusionsOphthalmic inpatients might have moderate knowledge and attitude, but a proactive practice towards glaucoma. A history of glaucoma, previous glaucoma surgery, education level, residency and alcohol consumption were potentially associated with knowledge and attitudes towards glaucoma among ophthalmic inpatients.
