Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Thrombolysis in Family Members of Cerebral Infarction Patients: Structural Equation Modeling Analysis.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 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
Background: Ischemic stroke, a leading cause of death globally, is often treated with thrombolytic therapy. However, low thrombolysis rates persist due to knowledge gaps among patients and families. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of family members of cerebral infarction patients regarding thrombolysis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Wujin People's Hospital (August 2023-July 2024) using an online questionnaire. Demographic data and KAP scores were collected from 505 family members of cerebral infarction patients, including 188 (37.23%) whose relatives underwent thrombolysis. Results: A total of 505 valid questionnaires were analyzed. Among the participants, 256 (50.69%) were male, and 188 (37.23%) were family members of patients who had undergone thrombolysis during the survey period. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 6.50 ± 2.44 (range: 0 to 10), 21.59 ± 6.33 (range: 6 to 30), and 16.26 ± 5.36 (range: 5 to 25), respectively. Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that, within the total population, knowledge had a significant influence on attitude (β = -0.511, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.660, P < 0.001), while attitude also significantly affected practice (β = 0.896, P < 0.001). Among participants whose relatives had received thrombolysis, knowledge significantly impacted attitude (β = -0.513, P = 0.008) and practice (β = 0.343, P = 0.041), with attitude further influencing practice (β = 0.856, P < 0.001). For participants whose relatives had not undergone thrombolysis, knowledge significantly affected attitude (β = -0.433, P = 0.048) and practice (β = 0.934, P < 0.001), with attitude continuing to influence practice. Conclusion: Family members exhibited inadequate thrombolysis knowledge but positive attitudes. Poor practice engagement underscores the need for targeted education to improve decision-making and stroke management participation.
