Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey of caregivers of children undergoing plasma tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy regarding postoperative pain management.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of caregivers regarding postoperative analgesia in children undergoing coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted at Wuhan Children’s Hospital, China, from July 2023 to February 2024. A structured questionnaire covering four domains (demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices) was administered to caregivers. Adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices were defined as scores exceeding 70% of the maximum for each dimension. Multivariate logistic regression and structural equation modeling (SEM) were performed to identify associated factors and explore interrelationships among KAP components.
resultsA total of 435 valid questionnaires were analyzed. Knowledge and attitude scores were independently associated with proactive practices (knowledge: OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03–1.22, P = 0.007; attitude: OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.08–1.21, P < 0.001). SEM demonstrated acceptable model fit (RMSEA = 0.052, SRMR = 0.060, TLI = 0.805, CFI = 0.823). Knowledge had a significant direct effect on attitude (β = 0.513, P < 0.001), and attitude had a significant direct effect on practice (β = 0.885, P < 0.001). Knowledge also showed a significant indirect effect on practice through attitude (β = 0.454, P < 0.001).
conclusionCaregivers of children undergoing coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy demonstrated insufficient knowledge, suboptimal attitudes, and inadequate postoperative analgesia practices. Targeted educational interventions focusing on caregiver knowledge and attitudes may help improve postoperative pain management and clinical outcomes in pediatric patients.
