Factors affecting the critical appraisal of research articles in Evidence-Based practices by advanced practice nurses: A descriptive qualitative study.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 describe factors affecting critical appraisal of research articles in evidence-based practice by certified nurse specialists who were advanced practice nurses in Japan.
designA descriptive qualitative study.
methodsFourteen certified nurse specialists with master's degree were included by a snowball sampling to maximize the variety of specialty fields for advanced practice nurses in Japan. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted between November 2016 and March 2017. Interview guides included the experience of evidence-based practice and learning about critical appraisal.
resultsThe following four aspects were identified as factors affecting the critical appraisal of research articles in evidence-based practices-individual beliefs and attitude, learning status, organizational readiness and availability of research evidence. Each factor included both positive and negative aspects for critical appraisal in evidence-based practice. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: If advanced practice nurses acquire knowledge/skills of critical appraisal, they would be able to select more appropriate care. This will increase to improve the health-related outcome for patients or populations.
