Effects of safe handling education on cognition, compliance and stress handling of antineoplastic drugs in clinical nurses.
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 6 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
To evaluate the effects of safe-handling education on the cognition, practice and stress handling of antineoplastic drugs in clinical nurses. This study uses a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test design. The experimental and control groups had 30 nurses each, who handled antineoplastic drugs from three institutions. This study examines the safe handling of antineoplastic drugs six times, for two hours each over two weeks. To verify the homogeneity of the experimental and control groups and the effectiveness of safe-handling education about antineoplastic drugs, a chi-square test and independent samples t-test were performed. The results were statistically significant in both groups (cognition [t = 6.84, p < 0.001], practice [t = 5.86, p < 0.001], and the stress of handling antineoplastic drugs [t = 5.15, p < 0.001]). Education on ways to safely handle antineoplastic drugs improves cognition, practice and stress handling of these drugs; moreover, proper education minimizes exposure.
