Nurses and physiotherapists' knowledge levels on autonomic dysreflexia in a rehabilitation hospital.

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
objectiveAutonomic dysreflexia is a clinical syndrome that affects people with spinal cord lesions at or above the sixth thoracic vertebral level (T6). This study aims to determine the level of knowledge about autonomic dysreflexia among nurses and physiotherapists involved in spinal cord rehabilitation.
designSingle-center survey study.
settingThis was conducted at a rehabilitation hospital. OUTCOME MEASURE: : Autonomic dysreflexia knowledge test.
participantsNurses (
resultsIn the autonomic dysreflexia knowledge test, the nurses obtained an average score of 6.63 ± 2.2 and the physiotherapists obtained an average score of 6.87 ± 1.89; there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Less than 25% of the participants had experience with autonomic dysreflexia and the test scores of the participants with this experience were significantly higher (P < 0.001).
conclusionSimilar to previous studies, the knowledge level of autonomic dysreflexia among nurses and physiotherapists working in rehabilitation hospitals was low. We think that there is a need for internationally standardized training programs to increase the knowledge level of autonomic dysreflexia for patients, caregivers, and health professionals.
