Effectiveness of a Knowledge-Oriented Educational Intervention on Air Pollution Health Protection Among Primary School Students: A Pilot Pre-Post Study.

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
Background: Air pollution remains a major global public health challenge, and reducing its harmful health effects is urgent, particularly for children. The objective of this study was to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of knowledge-oriented education on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of air pollution health protection (APHP) in primary school students. Methods: We conducted a single-arm pre-post intervention study by enrolling 635 primary school students. A two-month knowledge-oriented education intervention was performed through health lectures, educational videos, and the distribution of educational materials. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the KAP of air pollution before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the capability of air pollution protection was significantly improved as suggested by the significantly increased total score of KAP from 83.90±8.75 to 92.28±4.75, as well as its components including knowledge (20.45±3.13 vs 23.20±2.16), attitudes (31.60±4.03 vs 34.54±2.09), and practices (31.84±4.89 vs 34.52±2.67) (all P<0.05). These increments seemed to be more apparent in students who did not live with their parents and those whose mothers had a higher education level. Conclusion: Our pilot study found that KAP of APHP was significantly improved by knowledge-oriented education in primary school students and provided preliminary evidence for its potential effectiveness in the improvement of APHP. A well-designed randomized trial is warranted to demonstrate this effectiveness.
