Assessing Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Regarding Brucellosis Among High-Risk Occupational Groups.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 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
backgroundBrucellosis is a neglected but significant zoonotic disease that poses serious public health and economic challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related to brucellosis among high-risk occupational groups in Bangladesh, including dairy workers, livestock handlers and butchers.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted through face-to-face interviews using a structured, closed-ended questionnaire. A total of 435 participants from five districts were randomly selected. The questionnaire covered socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge of brucellosis, attitudes towards the disease and preventive practices. Descriptive statistics, univariable and multivariable logistic regression and correlation analyses were performed.
resultsOverall, 186 (43%) of participants demonstrated good knowledge about brucellosis. The majority of respondents (96%) exhibited a positive attitude towards the disease, and 59% reported correct practices at their workplaces. Notably, 52.9% of participants were aware of brucellosis transmission routes, and 90.6% reported proper disposal of aborted animal materials. Dairy workers were significantly more knowledgeable (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-3.63; p = 0.021) and demonstrated better practices (AOR = 4.69, CI: 2.30-9.88, p < 0.001) compared to butchers. Participants who had received training were significantly more likely to have good knowledge (AOR: 2.01; 95% CI: 1.12-3.61; p = 0.019) and to practice correct behaviours (AOR: 4.42; 95% CI: 2.11-8.83; p < 0.001) than those without training. A statistically significant, very weak positive correlation was observed between knowledge and practice scores.
conclusionsThis study highlights considerable gaps in knowledge and preventive practices among high-risk occupational groups in Bangladesh. Targeted educational interventions and comprehensive control programmes are urgently needed, especially for livestock handlers, butchers and individuals with lower educational levels, to reduce the risk of animal-to-human transmission and control the spread of brucellosis in the country.
