Knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward bowel preparation for sedation-assisted colonoscopy among patients with digestive disorders: a structural equation modeling analysis.

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
backgroundThis study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding bowel preparation prior to sedation-assisted colonoscopy among patients with digestive disorders.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted at Peking University People's Hospital between June and August 2025. Data were collected through structured questionnaires.
resultsA total of 459 participants had undergone sedation-assisted colonoscopy. The majority of these patients were female (58.8%), most respondents were undergoing the procedure for the first time (66.9%), primarily due to gastrointestinal symptoms (47.3%). Their knowledge, attitudes, and practices scores were 9.61 ± 6.60 (possible range: 0-18), 30.72 ± 4.29 (possible range: 8-40), and 35.09 ± 5.99 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. SEM analysis showed that knowledge was significantly associated with attitude (β = 0.424, P = 0.006) and practice (β = 0.555, P = 0.025).
conclusionPatients with digestive disorders demonstrated limited knowledge and suboptimal attitudes despite generally favorable bowel preparation practices, with knowledge being most strongly associated with both attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. To enhance overall bowel preparation effectiveness, future interventions should prioritize structured, evidence-based educational strategies that target knowledge deficits and cognitive barriers, particularly among first-time or lower-literacy patients.
