Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding mammary gland hyperplasia among adult women: a cross-sectional study in Shandong province, China.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. 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
objectivesTo investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding mammary gland hyperplasia (MGH) in adult women from Shandong province, China.
designA cross-sectional study.
settingThis study was conducted in Shandong province, China, from July to September 2023. Data were collected using a self-administered KAP questionnaire.
participantsAdult women. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the KAP scores of adult women regarding MGH. The secondary outcomes were the factors associated with the KAP scores.
resultsA total of 742 valid questionnaires were included in the final analysis (effective response rate 94 %). Adult women had insufficient knowledge (median 19, IQR 14-23) but positive attitudes (median 37, IQR 34-39) and proactive practices (median 30, IQR 27-33). Correlation analysis showed weak positive associations between knowledge and practice (r=0.137, p<0.001), and attitude and practice (r=0.152, p<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression indicated that not having undergone breast medical examination was associated with a lower likelihood of good practice (OR=0.664, 95% CI 0.466 to 0.947, p=0.024).
conclusionsThis study indicated relatively low knowledge levels regarding MGH among adult women in Shandong province, despite generally positive attitudes and proactive practices, suggesting a notable knowledge-practice gap. These findings support the need for targeted and context-specific educational interventions, rather than general awareness campaigns alone, to improve breast health management.
