Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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: To investigate parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding low-temperature plasma adenotonsillectomy for children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a self-administered KAP questionnaire for data collection from parents of children with OSAS at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, spanning August, 2023, to August, 2024. Results: A total of 415 parents were included, with 83.86% were female and 84.34% being primary caregivers. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 14.91 ± 2.40 (total score: 18 points), 31.87 ± 3.12 (total score: 35 points), and 32.01 ± 3.15 (total score: 35 points), respectively. Knowledge positively correlated with attitude (r = 0.365, P < 0.001), and practices (r = 0.336, P < 0.001). Attitude correlated with practice (r = 0.745, P < 0.001). Structural equation modelling revealed that knowledge influenced attitude (β = 0.490, P < 0.001), and attitude strongly impacted practice (β = 0.729, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Parents demonstrated adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices regarding low-temperature plasma surgery. This underscores the clinical value of incorporating structured parental education and counseling into perioperative care to support adherence and improve recovery in children with OSAS. These findings warrant continued, targeted health education focused on knowledge gaps to further enhance treatment compliance and optimize postoperative outcomes for children with OSAS.
