Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding premature ventricular contractions among patients: a cross-sectional study.

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: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) among patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2025 at Yichun People's Hospital, enrolling patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PVCs. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected and assessed using self-designed questionnaires. KAP scores were categorized as Poor (<60%), Moderate (60-79%), and Good (≥80%) of the maximum score according to the Bloom's criteria. Results: A total of 544 valid questionnaires were analyzed, yielding a valid response rate of 74.22%. Among the respondents, 294 (54.04%) were male, and more than half of the patients (305, 56.07%) reported not receiving any current treatment for PVCs. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 11.34 ± 8.23 (range: 0-23), 26.62 ± 4.1 (range: 7-35), and 28.44 ± 7.36 (range: 8-40), respectively. Positive correlations were observed between knowledge and attitude ( Conclusion: PVCs patients demonstrated poor knowledge, moderate attitudes, and moderate practice concerning PVCs. The identified pathways suggest that improving PVC-related knowledge may foster positive attitudes and, in turn, healthier management practices.
