1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Medical personnel contact with the patient closely, and their knowledge of vascular catheter-associated infections (VCAIs) is closely related to the prevention of VCAIs. Researchers mainly pay attention to the VCAIs knowledge of doctors and nurses but rarely pay attention to the nursing students in the hospital internship stage. Purpose: To investigate the current situation of knowledge of intern-nursing students in VCAIs, and analyze its influencing factors. Patients and Methods: 843 intern-nursing students were selected from 10 hospitals in five regions of eastern, western, southern, northern, and central China from June 26 to July 31, 2023, using a two-stage random sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire with good reliability and validity was used to investigate their knowledge of VCAIs, and Results: Intern nursing students' mean score of VCAIs knowledge was 48.66 (SD=15.77), with a score below 60 (unqualified) accounting for 75.4%, a score of 60-79 (qualified) accounting for 19.7%, a score of 80-89 (good) accounting for 3.6%, and a score of above 90 accounting for 1.3%. Students who attended VCAIs training three or more times had higher scores than those who did not attend training (B: 4.706, p=0.001), knowledge scores of students with a bachelor's degree or above were higher than those with junior college degree or below (B: 8.479, p<0.001), students who interned in tertiary hospitals had higher scores than those practicing in secondary hospitals (B:12.381, p<0.001) and scores of students in hospital training were significantly higher than study independently (B:4.116, p=0.007). Conclusion: Intern-nursing students have a relatively low level of knowledge about VCAIs. It is recommended to strengthen clinical systematic and standardized training, improve the knowledge mastery level of intern-nursing students, and enhance their ability to handle VCAIs.
