Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of liver cirrhosis patients regarding dietary nutrition.

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: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to dietary nutrition among patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at July 2025 at The Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. Participants were patients clinically diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that included items on demographic information, alongside nutritional knowledge, attitudes toward dietary management, and self-reported dietary behaviors. Results: A total of 450 valid responses were obtained, yielding a response rate of 97.19%. Among the respondents, 318 (70.7%) were male, 233 (51.8%) had a body mass index (BMI) within the normal range, and 127 (28.2%) had been living with cirrhosis for more than 3 years. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 10.96 ± 3.12 (possible range: 0-26), 21.94 ± 2.94 (possible range: 8-40), and 26.52 ± 4.85 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. The structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that knowledge had direct effects on attitude ( Conclusion: Individuals diagnosed with liver cirrhosis demonstrated limited knowledge, suboptimal attitudes, and insufficient dietary practices related to nutrition. Given these findings, targeted nutritional education should be integrated into routine clinical care to support behavior change and improve dietary self-management in this population.
