Knowledge, attitude, and practice of patients with osteomyelitis: a cross-sectional study using structural equation modeling.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) levels among patients with osteomyelitis, analyze their associated factors, and explore the pathways between knowledge, attitude, and practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a large tertiary hospital from April 1st to June 1st, 2025, enrolling 405 patients with osteomyelitis. A self-administered questionnaire collected demographic and disease-related information and assessed KAP. Cronbach's Results: Mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 28.56 ± 10.28, 29.08 ± 11.36, and 28.58 ± 11.62, respectively; achievement rates were 32.1, 35.6, and 30.9%. The overall Cronbach's Conclusion: Patients with osteomyelitis showed insufficient knowledge, attitude, and practice. Older age, lower education, and lower income were associated with poorer outcomes. Attitude mediated the knowledge-practice association. Future interventions should focus on attitude change in vulnerable populations, and prospective studies are warranted.
