Multicentre Cross-Sectional Study Describing Postoperative Wound Care Practice in Northeast Ethiopia.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Postoperative care is the management of a patient after surgery that includes care given during the immediate postoperative period. Postoperative complications are continuing to be a major source of morbidity following operative procedures. Postoperative wound infection delays the patient's recovery, increases discomfort, and prolongs the hospital stay. Objective: The study aimed to assess among nurses working in governmental hospitals in the south Wollo zone and Oromia special zone, northeast Ethiopia, 2020. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted on governmental hospitals in the south Wollo zone and Oromia special zone. Variables in multivariable logistic regression, Result: From a total of 411 samples, 402 nurses responded to the questionnaire, with a response rate of 97.81%. This study showed that 49.8% of participants had good practice. The availability of a wound management tool was 1.6 times more likely to promote good practice than the lack of a wound assessment tool. Nurses who had documented their wound assessment and management activities were 2.1 times more likely to have good practice than those who hadn't documented. Conclusion: This study showed that half of the participants had poor wound care practices. Regarding associated factors, the availability of wound management tools and documentation of wound assessment and management had a significant association with the nurse's poor wound care practice. On the basis of these results, health policymakers and hospital administrators should develop a program to train nurses in wound care practice, and it helps as a reference for the researchers to further study.
