Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Toward LARS Prevention in Rectal Cancer Patients With Prophylactic Stomas: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimTo assess the current status of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) prevention among rectal cancer patients with prophylactic stomas.
designA multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was administered to 206 patients who underwent prophylactic stoma reversal after sphincter saving rectal cancer surgery at 20 tertiary hospitals in a specific region between January 2024 and January 2025. A validated KAP questionnaire was utilized, comprising three domains: knowledge (12 items), attitudes (10 items), and practices (10 items). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, multiple linear regression, and mediation analysis.
resultsThe total KAP score was 109.39 (20.29) (maximum: 160), with sub-scores of 38.46 (8.46) (knowledge), 40.02 (4.25) (attitudes), and 30.92 (10.59) (practices). Educational level, residence, and primary caregiver were identified as significant explanatory factors in multiple linear regression analysis of KAP scores (all p < 0.05). Attitudes partially mediated the relationship between knowledge and practice (mediation effect: 24.90%, p < 0.05). Despite positive attitudes, patients demonstrated moderate knowledge gaps and suboptimal behavioral compliance. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients contributed data to this study but were not involved in its design, analysis, or reporting.
