Knowledge, attitude and practice of patients with ankle injury regarding osteochondral lesions of the talus: a cross-sectional study in Wuxi, China.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
objectiveTo investigate knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of patients with ankle injury regarding osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).
designA cross-sectional study.
settingBetween March and September 2023, at the Ninth People's Hospital of Wuxi, affiliated with Soochow University.
participantsAmong patients with OLT. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: KAP scores and associated factors.
methodsData were collected through a researcher-designed, validated questionnaire with four dimensions (sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and practice). Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to explore associations among variables.
resultsA total of 537 valid (valid rate: 78.85%) questionnaires were obtained from the responders who were aged 27.18±11.01 years, with 151 (28.12) males. The mean KAP scores were 17.28±4.84 (possible range: 0-28), 29.44±4.21 (possible range: 9-45) and 18.01±5.39 (possible range: 6-30), respectively. SEM revealed that employment (employed vs unemployed, β=1.33, p=0.002), had medical insurance (β=1.19, p=0.019) and with a history of ankle sprains (β=1.08, p=0.009) exhibited positive direct effects, while whether with cartilage injury of the talus (no vs yes, β=-0.73, p=0.001) had negative direct effect on knowledge. Additionally, knowledge (β=0.08, p=0.032) showed positive direct effects, while gender (males vs females, β=-1.81, p<0.001) showed negative direct effects on attitude. Furthermore, knowledge (β=0.38, p<0.001), attitude (β=0.18, p<0.001), had medical insurance (β=1.05, p=0.045) and had recovered from an ankle injury (β=1.38, p=0.025) exhibited positive direct effects on practice.
conclusionPatients with ankle injury had inadequate knowledge, negative attitude and inactive practice toward OLT. Gender, job, medical insurance, cartilage injury of the talus, history of ankle sprains and recovery from ankle injury influenced their KAP.
