Knowledge, attitudes, and intended practices regarding colorectal polyps among patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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: Colorectal polyps are common precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer, and effective patient self-management and secondary prevention largely depend on patients' health-related knowledge, attitudes, and intended practices (KAP). Objective: This study aimed to assess the practice KAP regarding colorectal polyps among patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with colorectal polyps from July 2024 to December 2024 at Nanjing Lishui People's Hospital. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to gather demographic information and assess KAP scores. Results: A total of 472 valid responses were included in the final analysis. Among the participants, 276 (58.5%) were male, and 376 (79.7%) were newly diagnosed with intestinal polyps. The median (SD) knowledge, attitude, and intended practice scores were 5.37 (5.55) (possible range: 0-24), 36.64 (3.37) (possible range: 10-50), and 34.79 (5.32) (possible range: 9-45), respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive association between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.262, P < 0.001). Similarly, attitude and intended practices were positively correlated (r = 0.238, P < 0.001). Structural equation modeling revealed that knowledge directly influenced attitude (β = 0.589, P < 0.001) and intended practices (β = -0.334, P < 0.001). Additionally, attitude had a significant direct effect on intended practices (β = 0.508, P < 0.001). Notably, knowledge also indirectly affected intended practices through its influence on attitude (β = 0.298, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with colorectal polyps exhibited limited knowledge but generally maintained positive attitudes and engaged in proactive intended practices concerning their condition. Targeted educational interventions are recommended to improve knowledge, which could lead to more informed attitudes and reinforce positive practices.
