Nursing students' knowledge about Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Journal of nursing education and practice, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: Every 66 seconds a U.S. resident develops Alzheimer's disease (AD). Future nurses will be caring for the rapidly escalating number of adults turning 65, yet information regarding nursing students' knowledge about the age-related disease of Alzheimer's is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine 102 Florida baccalaureate nursing students' basic and advanced AD knowledge. Methods: A descriptive design using two AD knowledge measures and analysis using paired samples Results: Although the setting was a region of the U.S. with the highest percentage of older adults, knowledge deficits regarding age-related Alzheimer's disease were striking. Students' basic knowledge was significantly higher than their advanced AD knowledge ( Conclusions: To better prepare nursing students to care for the increasing numbers of older adults facing risk of AD, updated curricula targeting dementia-related illnesses are essential. Information is offered regarding current state of the science resources of benefit to faculty, students, and practicing nurses, such as experiential learning and Hartford Institute of Geriatric Nursing collaborative programs.
