Knowledge, attitude, and practice of kidney transplant patients regarding post-transplant complications: 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: The management of complications following kidney transplantation involves self-management, which requires adequate knowledge and favorable attitudes. This study explored the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of post-transplant complications among kidney transplant patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included (convenience sampling) kidney transplant patients from our hospital. A self-designed online KAP questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: A total of 499 (89.7%) valid questionnaires were included; 327 were filled out by men and 172 by women, aged 44.41±10.54 years. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 6.00±1.99 (possible range, 0-10), 22.29±1.96 (possible range, 6-30), and 29.28±3.78 (possible range, 8-40), respectively. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between attitude and knowledge (r=0.129, P=0.004), attitude and practice (r=0.334, P<0.001), and practice and attitude (r=0.416, P<0.001). Structural equation modeling showed that post-transplant complications and education were associated with knowledge while drinking alcohol, age, and duration since kidney transplant were negatively associated with knowledge. Knowledge and education were associated with attitude, while post-transplant complications were negatively associated with attitude. Attitude, knowledge, duration since kidney transplant and education were associated with the practice, while age was negatively associated with the practice. Conclusions: Kidney transplant patients showed insufficient knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice regarding post-transplant complications. Age, education, drinking alcohol, post-transplant complications, and duration since kidney transplant might affect their KAP. Educational interventions targeting specific KAP items with poor scores should be designed and tested to improve the self-management of patients with kidney transplants.
