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
backgroundThe emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is taking on new importance as the profession of nursing strives to meet the challenge of defining the direction of health care, promoting optimal outcomes, and ensuring patient safety. Therefore, Evidence-Based Practice has never been more important to nursing than in the current health-care environment.
objectiveThe study was designed to assess the knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes of nurses as compared with Evidence-Based Practice in relation to the Guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council.
methodsThe study covered involved a total of 236 nurses who participated in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation course over a period of 12 months. The nurses who qualified for the study followed a complete study registration procedure.
resultsThe current findings show that the lowest score was achieved in the domain of attitude toward selected Evidence-Based Practice aspects in professional work. Detailed domain questions concerned nurses' Evidence-Based Practice and its limitations related to procedures, the lack of equipment and personnel issues, as well as the lack of scientific evidence. Furthermore, nurses saw clinical experience as being more valuable than research findings for practical decision-making than research findings, and, according to the respondents, they presented opinions that the best way to assess the effectiveness of an action was through clinical experience. In addition, the nurses gave low scores and tended to underestimate the critical literature review aspect within the domain, along with its significance for the general professional practice, believing that search for scientific evidence alone does not apply into their professional work.
conclusionsThe validated Polish version of the Evidence-Based Practice profile questionnaire is a reliable instrument. The study demonstrates that nurses are facing a multitude of limitations due to procedures, the lack of equipment, and personnel issues. Currently perceived as very poor, the ability to make critical assessments and synthesize evidence should be improved. According to the nurses, clinical experience cannot be the only and the best way to assess the effectiveness of a given measure.
