Analysis of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding exercise among type 2 diabetes patients and influencing factors: a cross-sectional 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
Objective: This study investigates exercise-related knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) status and its determinants among type T2DM, with the goal of offering practical references to optimize the implementation of exercise-based interventions for this patient group. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted using cluster sampling among 383 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes in the endocrinology departments of seven tertiary hospitals across Guangdong, Guangxi and Hubei provinces, China. The study analyzed the current status and influencing factors of patients' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding physical activity. Results: Among the T2DM participants, the overall exercise KAP score reached 122.89 ± 24.33, corresponding to a score rate of 66.43%. Specifically, the exercise knowledge subscale obtained 49.10 ± 13.82 points (score rate: 54.56%), the exercise attitude subscale yielded 26.44 ± 7.66 points (score rate: 66.1%), and the exercise practice subscale achieved 47.34 ± 12.55 points (score rate: 67.63%). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that long-term residence, educational attainment, monthly income, complications, regular exercise habits, diabetes exercise health education, and family support are related factors of exercise Knowledge-Attitude-Practice levels in T2DM patients ( Conclusion: Exercise KAP levels among T2DM patients are generally suboptimal, necessitating timely targeted interventions. The key populations for exercise-focused health education include those with lower educational background, limited income, rural household registration, and no diabetes-associated complications. Tailoring exercise health education to the assessment findings, boosting family-based supportive measures, and encouraging peer communication among patients can effectively elevate their exercise-related KAP levels.
