1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Evidence regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to MRI safety among healthcare providers and the public in China remains limited. A web-based cross-sectional study. HCPs (including clinicians, nurses, MRI technologists, and medical students) completed the survey based on their experience in MRI-related environments, whereas PFs completed the survey as examinees/patients and accompanying family members/caregivers. Data were collected between March 1, 2024, and May 1, 2025. A total of 924 questionnaires were collected, of which 46 were excluded due to lack of informed consent, insufficient response time, age ineligibility, or data outliers, resulting in 878 valid questionnaires. HCPs demonstrated higher knowledge, attitude, and practice scores than PFs. Structural equation modeling showed that knowledge significantly influenced attitudes in both groups, while attitudes exerted a strong direct effect on practice. Both groups exhibited limited knowledge and moderate attitudes toward MRI safety. These findings suggest potential implications for future educational strategies aimed at improving MRI safety awareness and compliance.
