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
introductionEffective knowledge sharing by physicians is integral to patient education and health literacy, particularly in the management of chronic diseases. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study examines how physicians' attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control shape their knowledge-sharing intentions and behaviors, and how these behaviors are associated with patient health literacy within public hospital settings in China.
methodsA cross-sectional survey of 607 physicians from 39 public hospitals across 6 provinces in China was conducted between March and April 2024. Measures included attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, knowledge-sharing behavior, perceived patient health literacy, and job effort. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypothesized relationships.
resultsAttitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were positively associated with physicians' intentions to share knowledge. Behavioral intention mediated the relationship between perceived behavioral control and actual knowledge-sharing behavior. Actual knowledge-sharing behavior was positively associated with perceived patient health literacy. Importantly, job effort moderated this relationship: high levels of job effort attenuated the positive association between knowledge-sharing behavior and patient health literacy.
conclusionsFindings underscore the organizational relevance of fostering supportive practice environments that strengthen physicians' motivation and capacity to share knowledge. Reducing excessive job effort may enhance the impact of knowledge-sharing behaviors on patient health literacy, with implications for hospital management, workforce policy, and chronic disease care delivery.
