Multilevel Modeling of Individual and Group Level Influences on Critical Thinking and Clinical Decision-Making Skills among Registered Nurses: A Study Protocol.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Critical thinking and clinical decision-making are two essential components of nursing services. The practice of nursing requires both components at every level of nurses' daily tasks. This paper describes the protocol for an ongoing project, which aims to examine the prevalence of critical thinking and clinical decision-making among registered nurses and determine the factors that influence the skills at individual and group levels using a multilevel modeling approach. Survey data will be collected from approximately nine states, with nine general hospitals, nine district hospitals, one private hospital, and one educational hospital in Malaysia included. We aim to recruit 800 registered nurses working shifts in hospital settings. We will use questionnaires to measure the perceived nurses' knowledge, critical thinking skills, and clinical decision-making skills. The study will have three levels as the nurses are nested within the unit and further nested within the hospitals. This study will give an insight into the nursing profession today where critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills can play a significant role in patient safety and the quality of care in nursing practice.
