Knowledge, attitude and practice of Chinese medical staff in early pulmonary rehabilitation during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of early pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) among Chinese medical staff and the relationship between them.
designA multicentre cross-sectional survey was used in this study.
settingThe study was conducted at multiple hospitals in Guizhou Province, China.
participantsA total of 745 medical staff were recruited from several hospitals in Guizhou Province by convenient sampling method. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: A 41-item questionnaire was used to collect the demographic characteristics of the respondents and the KAP of the medical staff on the early PR of AECOPD.
resultsThe average KAP scores were 64.49±17.24, 42.81±5.95 and 41.39±8.97. There were significant positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (r=0.491, p<0.001), knowledge and practice (r=0.129, p<0.001), and attitude and practice (r=0.246, p<0.001). Medical staff with prior PR training and AECOPD early PR experience had higher knowledge and practice scores. Attitudes were significantly influenced by gender, hospital level, professional title and respiratory staff status, while practice scores were significantly affected by prior experience, knowledge and patient contact frequency.
conclusionsThe study found that medical staff's knowledge and attitudes affect their practices, and experience and education influence their knowledge. It suggests that organisations should enhance education and training to improve medical staff's knowledge and attitudes, thus enhancing clinical practice. However, the study's focus on Guizhou Province and the high number of nurses in the sample may limit the generalisability of the results.
