Why patients' knowledge alone isn't enough: examining behavioral and attitudinal gaps in gestational diabetes management among Chinese women.

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: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence is rising in China, necessitating an understanding of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among affected women to inform interventions. Methods: This cross-sectional study (June 2020-June 2024) surveyed 3,426 Chinese women with GDM, aged 20-60 years, from urban and rural prenatal clinics across Qingdao city, China. A validated 25-item KAP questionnaire used a three-option response format (yes, no, maybe). Data were collected via WeChat in urban areas and paper-based surveys in rural regions (89% response rate), analyzed using chi-square tests and binary logistic regression. Results: Significant KAP gaps emerged: 63% recognized GDM's link to complications, but only 50% understood its comprehensive management, with 38% aware of eye exams and 40% of foot care needs. Practice adherence was poor-36% monitored blood glucose, 38% limited alcohol, and 53% practiced foot care, despite 59% adhering to medications. Attitudinally, 64% believed health-focused behavior drives management, yet only 36% viewed personal accountability as key, with 39% feeling providers understood their concerns. Intriguingly, younger women (20-30 years) were more open to education (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.94-3.69, Conclusion: These findings reveal entrenched KAP barriers in GDM management, underscoring the need for innovative, equity-driven interventions-integrating accessible education, community empowerment, and digital tools-to enhance outcomes and reduce the GDM burden in China.
