Knowledge, attitude and practice of farmers towards goat mastitis through item response theory approaches.

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
Goat production, which is largely managed by resource-poor farmers, is hindered by limited infrastructure, education, and low awareness of prevalent diseases, management, and cultural perceptions. Goat mastitis is often overlooked due to poor routine diagnostic culture, low farmer awareness, and management-related risk factors. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) levels of herders on mastitis in goats. A cross-sectional study with simple random sampling was conducted in selected districts of northeastern Amhara region, Ethiopia, from September 2024 to May 2025. Data was collected from 275 participants using a semi-structured questionnaire. Among the 275 survey participants, 30.7% reported mastitis incidents. The average scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to mastitis were 47.8%, 69.4%, and 46.2%, respectively. The majority of the respondents did not attend school, and their knowledge about the causes of mastitis, zoonotic diseases, and subclinical mastitis was significantly associated with district and age demographics. In conclusion, herders lacked desirable knowledge and practices, and zoonotic risks related to mastitis. Tailored training on the causes, and the zoonotic risk, control and prevention mastitis was suggested for goat farmers. Furthermore, research on bacterial species and resistance factors identification are recommended.
