1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

PURPOSE/

objectivesTo describe evidence-based practice (EBP) beliefs and behaviors of nurses who provide cancer pain management.

designDescriptive, cross-sectional with a mixed-methods approach.

settingTwo inpatient oncology units in the Pacific Northwest. SAMPLE: 40 RNs.

methodsData collected by interviews and web-based surveys. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: EBP beliefs, EBP implementation, evidence-based pain management.

findingsNurses agreed with the positive aspects of EBP and their implementation ability, although implementation level was low. They were satisfied with their pain management practices. Oncology nursing certification was associated with innovativeness, and innovativeness was associated with EBP beliefs. Themes identified were (a) limited definition of EBP, (b) varied evidence-based pain management decision making, (c) limited identification of evidence-based pain management practices, and (d) integration of nonpharmacologic interventions into patient care.

conclusionsNurses' low level of EBP implementation in the context of pain management was explained by their trust that standards of care and medical orders were evidence-based. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Nurses' EBP beliefs and behaviors should be considered when developing strategies for sustaining evidence-based pain management practices. Implementation of the EBP process by nurses may not be realistic in the inpatient setting; therefore, hospital pain management policies need to be evidence-based and reinforced with nurses.
