Nurses' Attitudes and Knowledge of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Maintenance in Primary Hospitals in China: A Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimThe promotion of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) maintenance in primary hospitals can benefit discharged patients with PICCs living in remote areas a lot. Yet, no primary hospitals had introduced PICC maintenance technology in Hunan province, China. The present study aimed to evaluate nurses' attitudes and knowledge of PICC maintenance in primary hospitals in Hunan province, China. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom November 2018 to January 2019, a total of 560 nurses from 28 community hospitals and 28 township hospitals in 14 cities across Hunan were recruited in the present study. All nurses were registered nurses engaged in clinical work related to intravenous infusion, and their attitudes and knowledge of PICC maintenance were measured by a self-designed questionnaire that was based on literature review and expert consultation.
resultsThe response rate was 93.6% (560 of 598). Almost all participants could realize the importance and necessity of PICC maintenance. More than 90% of the participants expressed interest in PICC maintenance and showed strong demands for relevant training. However, the nurses' correct response rate of most knowledge items was at a low level (7.14-57.68%), with only three items exhibiting the correct response rate of 90% or higher. The factors influencing the nurses' PICC maintenance knowledge included their nursing experience, professional title, work setting, and department.
conclusionAlthough nurses in primary hospitals had a positive attitude toward PICC maintenance, their knowledge level was unsatisfactory, which might be a barrier to the promotion of PICC maintenance technology in primary hospitals in Hunan province, China. Multiple parties should get involved and take measures to improve the nurses' PICC maintenance knowledge, including the government, nursing associations, large-scale hospitals, and primary hospitals themselves. Besides, new training models and dynamic assessment methods should be explored to improve training effectiveness in the future.
