Development and validation of a knowledge, attitude, and practice scale for myopia prevention and control among parents of children and adolescents.
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
Objective: To develop a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) scale for myopia prevention and control among parents of children and adolescents, and to test its reliability and validity. Methods: Based on the KAP theory, an initial scale was developed through literature review and expert consultations. From March to April 2026, a convenience sample of 500 parents of children and adolescents from kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools was surveyed to test the scale's psychometric properties. The final scale was formed after reliability and validity analyses. Results: A total of 477 valid questionnaires were returned. The final scale consists of three dimensions (knowledge, attitude, and practice) with 35 items. The response rates for the two rounds of expert consultation were both 100%, with an authority coefficient of 0.913 and Kendall's Conclusion: The developed KAP scale for myopia prevention and control among parents of children and adolescents is well-constructed and exhibits good reliability and validity. It can serve as a valid tool for assessing parents' KAP levels in this population.
