Intensive care unit registered nurses' perceived barriers towards ventilated associated pneumonia prevention in southeast Iran: a cross-sectional descriptive - an analytical study.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesVentilated associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common nosocomial infection and complication occurring in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. This study aimed to assess the ICU registered nurses' perceived barriers towards VAP prevention in southeast Iran.
settingThis was a cross-sectional descriptive-an analytical study to examine the registered nurses' perceived barriers towards VAP prevention in southeast Iran.
participantsThe study population consisted of 242 nurses working in ICU and emergency departments. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The data was collected using demographic characteristics' questionnaire and a researcher-made ventilator-associated pneumonia barriers prevention questionnaire.
resultsThe mean score of nurses' perceived barriers towards VAP prevention was 2.82±0.46. The highest mean score of perceived barriers were related to items of 'lack of staff', 'lack of a team-based approach to care and interventions', and 'lack of support from management'.
conclusionsThis study indicates most of the barriers are related to organisational factors and lack of teamwork. Further studies are needed to obtain more accurate results. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Kerman University of Medical Sciences (IR.KMU.REC.1395.908).
