Insufficient knowledge and moderate attitudes and practices regarding continuous glucose monitoring among patients with diabetes.

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
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has shown increasing application in diabetes management. This study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of patients with various types of diabetes towards CGM. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Runda Community Health Service Center, Suzhou, between October 23, 2023, and November 27, 2023. A self-administered questionnaire was developed to collect demographic information and KAP. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the relationships between the KAP dimensions. A total of 576 participants were included, with a mean age of 66.37 ± 7.51 years. The mean KAP scores were 5.55 ± 5.33 (possible range: 0-22), 31.41 ± 4.22 (possible range: 10-50), and 12.85 ± 3.83 (possible range: 5-25), respectively. Positive correlations were observed between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.514, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.486, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.339, P < 0.001). SEM based on standardized coefficients showed that knowledge had a significant direct effect on attitude (β = 0.553, 95% CI 0.484-0.623, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.439, 95% CI 0.347-0.532, P < 0.001). In addition, knowledge exerted an indirect effect on practice through attitude (β = 0.160, 95% CI 0.098-0.222, P < 0.001). This study revealed insufficient knowledge, moderate attitude, and practice toward CGM among patients with diabetes in Suzhou, China. Educational and behavioral interventions are recommended, particularly for diabetes patients with advanced age, lower educational levels, and not having education and promotion on dynamic blood glucose monitors.
