Development of the clinical reasoning competency scale for nurses.
Article in BMC nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07688993 (Effect of Animation-Based Orotracheal Suction Training on Clinical Reasoning Competency and Knowledge Level of Expert Nurses), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
backgroundClinical reasoning is emphasized as an important component of nursing education, since nurses' lack of clinical reasoning leads to incorrect clinical decision-making. Therefore, a tool for measuring clinical reasoning competency needs to be developed.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted to develop the Clinical Reasoning Competency Scale (CRCS) and examine its psychometric properties. The attributes and preliminary items of the CRCS were developed based on a systematic literature review and in-depth interviews. The validity and reliability of the scale were evaluated among nurses.
resultsThe exploratory factor analysis was conducted for the construct validation. The total explained variance of the CRCS was 52.62%. The CRCS consists of 8 items for plan setting, 11 items for intervention strategy regulation, and 3 items for self-instruction. The Cronbach's α of the CRCS was 0.92. Criterion validity was verified with the Nurse Clinical Reasoning Competence (NCRC). The correlation between the total NCRC and CRCS scores was 0.78, all of which were significant correlations.
conclusionThe CRCS is expected to provide raw scientific and empirical data for various intervention programs to develop and improve nurses' clinical reasoning competency.
