Attitudes and practices of healthcare professionals in a comprehensive tertiary hospital regarding traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of influenza.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes and practices of healthcare professionals at a comprehensive tertiary hospital regarding the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in influenza treatment. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at Quzhou Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between June 5 and July 14, 2024. Data were collected using a validated self-designed questionnaire assessing healthcare professionals' attitudes and practices. Analysis of 606 questionnaires (95.43% response rate) revealed 70.79% doctors (59.08% female); 79.21% had TCM influenza experience. Mean attitude score (50.69 ± 6.73) indicated favorable TCM perceptions, but practice scores (28.47 ± 5.43) showed moderate engagement. Attitude and practice scores correlated significantly (*r* = 0.5252, P < 0.001). Educational events (P < 0.01), family TCM use (P < 0.001), and TCM-employed relatives (P < 0.05) mediated attitudes and practices. Although healthcare professionals demonstrated generally positive attitudes towards TCM, their actual clinical practice remained limited. To promote the integration of TCM into influenza care, targeted training and educational programs are recommended.
