Nurses' competency in Saudi Arabian healthcare context: A cross-sectional correlational study.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
aimTo measure the competence and characteristics of nurses in Saudi Arabia delivering health care with significant correlations.
designA cross-sectional correlational study.
methodsData were collected in 2019 using a standardized questionnaire, Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses (CIRN), that included a purposive sample of 621 nurses working in Saudi Arabia.
resultsA positive evaluation of nurses' overall core competency components is recognizably measured with greater competency levels in their workplace, scoring highest in "legal/ethical practice" while "critical thinking and research aptitude" represented the lowest dimension. Nurses' marital status, years of graduation, length of service, duty hours and nurse-patient ratio affect their competency level. Nurses' competence and their sociodemographic characteristics are significantly correlated attributes. Medical ward nurses are likely to have the greatest competence in delivering safe nursing care within training's legal borders.
