Students' knowledge, attitude and practices towards pressure ulcer prevention and management.
Article in Health SA = SA Gesondheid, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Student nurses provide nursing care to patients during clinical allocation, and their competence may affect the quality of care given to the patients. Good knowledge and positive attitudes enhance early detection for prevention and management of pressure ulcers. Aim: To determine undergraduate nursing students' knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) towards prevention and management of pressure ulcers. Setting: A nursing education institution in Windhoek, Namibia. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was used to conveniently sample ( Results: Fifty ( Conclusion: Student nurses have good knowledge, positive attitudes and practices on prevention and management of pressure ulcers. By the implications, the study concludes that the nursing students will competently manage the pressure ulcers occurring in the clinical setting. An observational study is recommended to assess practices in the clinical setting. Contribution: The findings of this study will help to close the gap in the implementation of standard operating procedures for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers.
