Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Typhoid Fever Among University Students in Bangladesh: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Typhoid fever remains a significant public health concern in Bangladesh due to overcrowding, insufficient sanitation, unsafe food and contaminated water exposure, and antimicrobial resistance. The aim of this research is to gather evidence-based information to guide future public health programs and educational initiatives specifically targeting university students. Methods: From August 2024 to July 2025, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 470 students from three universities in Dhaka city. A structured questionnaire was developed following standard guidelines, and data were collected through convenient sampling. Comparative analyses, Pearson's correlation, multivariable linear regression models, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to statistically evaluate the linkage between outcome measures across various sociodemographic and academic variables. Results: Among 470 valid responses, 127 participants were male (27.02%), and 343 were female (72.98%). Mean ± SD scores were 80.05 ± 16.34 for knowledge, 73.99 ± 24.60 for attitude, and 60.93 ± 16.01 for practice. Knowledge showed weak but significant positive correlations with attitude ( Conclusion: Overall participants in the study had relatively good knowledge and favorable attitudes toward typhoid fever. However, some important gaps remained in preventive practices and vaccination. Behavior-focused health education, improved access to the typhoid conjugate vaccine, and strengthened campus-based WASH strategies may help in improving typhoid prevention among university students.
