The knowledge, attitudes, and practices of thoracic surgical nurses towards postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study examines thoracic surgical nurses’ Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) regarding postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation to improve patient recovery and reduce complications after thoracic surgery.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among thoracic surgical nurses from 7 tertiary hospitals in Beijing between April 8 and April 30, 2024, using a self-administered questionnaire.
resultsA total of 238 valid questionnaires remained. Of these, 191 (80.25%) were female, and 169 (71.01%) had received training in perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation. The mean knowledge, attitudes and practices score were 10.45 ± 3.98 (possible range: 0–34), 33.31 ± 6.50 (possible range: 8–40), and 31.65 ± 6.52 (possible range: 8–40), respectively. The mediation analysis revealed that gender (β = 1.731, p = 0.021), age (β = 0.161, p = 0.018), hospital level (β = -0.943, p = 0.008), education (β = 1.031, p = 0.031), and years of working (β = -1.127, p = 0.006) had significant direct impacts on knowledge. Knowledge itself was a significant predictor of attitudes (β = 0.777, p = 0.009) and directly influenced practice as well (knowledge: β = 0.327, p = 0.010; attitudes: β = 0.342, p = 0.010). Concurrently, gender (β = 1.346, p = 0.012), age (β = 0.125, p = 0.011), hospital level (β = -0.733, p = 0.006), education (β = 0.801, p = 0.021), and working years (β = -0.876, p = 0.005) indirectly influenced attitudes. Additionally, gender (β = 1.732, p = 0.009), age (β = 0.095, p = 0.007), and knowledge (β = 0.266, p = 0.011) indirectly impacted practice.
conclusionsThoracic surgical nurses exhibit a solid foundation in knowledge and positive attitudes towards postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation, influenced by demographics and education. Targeted training programs are recommended to improve their knowledge, potentially enhancing patient outcomes in recovery.
