Knowledge-attitude-practice of pneumoconiosis prevention and control among Chinese university students: a cross-sectional study.

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: Pneumoconiosis remains a significant public health issue. Given its substantial harm to patients and society, effective prevention is crucial. The study aimed to investigate the current status systematically and the influencing factors of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the prevention and control of pneumoconiosis among Chinese college students, thereby providing evidence-based recommendations for targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional online study was conducted based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) model between September and October 2025. We conducted a nationwide, anonymous survey using stratified random sampling by educational level and geographic region, involving 1,795 students from 84 universities across 33 Chinese provinces. The questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics, as well as knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to the prevention and control of pneumoconiosis. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of demographic factors on the KAP model. Results: Students demonstrated a moderate overall KAP level across the assessed domains (overall KAP score: 66.93 ± 10.76) with limited knowledge (61.79 ± 16.75) and practical engagement (67.65 ± 13.53), but relatively positive attitudes (72.45 ± 9.92). Non-Han status (β = -0.072), Non-Medical disciplines (β = -0.062), residence in the Northern (β = -0.066), Northwestern (β = -0.073), Southwestern (β = -0.066), or Northeastern (β = -0.062), Good health status (β = 0.094), and higher self-rated knowledge levels (all Conclusion: These findings reveal significant gaps in knowledge and practice among university students. They provide a critical evidence base for developing targeted curricular interventions and health promotion strategies within higher education to improve occupational health literacy.
