Advanced Practice Nursing student knowledge in obesity management: A mixed methods research study.
Article in Nurse education today, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundObesity, the most prevalent chronic disease affecting multiple systems, is associated with increased mortality and a decreased life expectancy.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to identify Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) students' confidence of obesity management as well as satisfaction of APN curriculum on and curricular recommendations regarding obesity management.
designModified convergent mixed-methods design.
settingA university-based college of nursing in the Deep South.
participantsGraduate APN Students.
methodsAn exploratory mixed methods online survey was administered to APN students. The survey included demographics; confidence in obesity management; knowledge of pharmacological treatment; self-reported height and weight; experiences and challenges related to obesity management; and suggestions of curricular content changes for the treatment of obesity that would increase student expertise and confidence.
resultsNinety-nine surveys were completed by 94 female and five male APN students aged 26 to 61 years. The majority (70.7%) were white with BMIs ranging from 19.57 to 51.37 (x̅=27.81). Areas where students were least comfortable were prescribing anti-obesity medications and accurately billing for obesity management. Fourteen percent of APN students reported feeling that their graduate nursing education program did not prepare them well in obesity management, 25.3% reported feeling slightly well prepared, 32% reported feeling moderately well prepared, and 27.8% reported feeling very well or extremely well prepared. Qualitative responses accentuated insecurity in areas such as initiating a discussion on obesity management with patients who have obesity.
conclusionsOverall, APN students requested that their curriculum incorporate more instruction on how to begin the discussion of weight loss and provide clear evidence-based guidelines that include diet, exercise, and medication options. An efficient way to affect the management and treatment of obesity is to ensure that the next generation of providers is thoroughly prepared to implement the best evidence-based obesity management for patients.
