Mpox Awareness and Infection Control Practices Among Hospital Nurses and Healthcare Workers in Bangladesh.
Article in Public health challenges, 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: The recent global outbreaks of Mpox, an emerging zoonotic viral disease, highlight sustained transmission in Africa and spread across Europe, challenging public health preparedness among frontline healthcare workers (HCWs). This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding Mpox among hospital nurses and HCWs in Bangladesh and to identify sociodemographic factors influencing KAP outcomes. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 1, 2024 to November 15, 2024 in eight hospitals in Dhaka district. Hospitals were selected via convenience sampling based on referral status and patient load, and participants were randomly chosen from active healthcare staff across categories. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire, following a pilot study among 30 nurses and HCWs. Responses were recorded through KoboToolbox, and statistical analyses were performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Out of the 200 HCWs approached, 110 provided complete and valid responses and were included in the final analysis. Among those who had heard (60.9%) about Mpox, 47.3% demonstrated good knowledge, 86.4% showed positive attitudes, and 82.7% reported correct preventive practices. Only 60.9% of participants reported having heard about Mpox. Among these, Facebook (29.9%) was the most commonly reported source of Mpox-related information. Knowledge gaps were evident regarding zoonotic transmission, preventive guidelines, and the protective role of smallpox vaccination. Education level was significantly associated with knowledge (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.45; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.83-11.7; Conclusion: Targeted training and awareness programs are vital to improve preparedness and infection control among hospital nurses, strengthening the national response to Mpox outbreaks in Bangladesh.
