Knowledge and Attitudes of Nursing Students Regarding Children's Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
backgroundAlthough the occurrence of pain among hospitalized children is inevitable, the way to assess and detect the intensity of pain is still challenging to pediatric professionals and may lead to increased morbidity and mortality rates if left untreated. The knowledge base of nurses regarding both pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management among children plays a significant role in managing and making a management plan. The purpose of this study was to assess nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward pediatric pain management.
methodsThis study used a cross-sectional design to investigate the knowledge and attitudes regarding pain and its management among undergraduate nursing students at a university. A convenience sample of students from all levels was obtained. The pediatric nurses knowledge and attitudes survey (PNKAS) regarding pain was used. Data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22 (Released 2013; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA).
resultsIn this study, 86.3% of participants (n = 69) scored within the satisfactory range on the PNKAS, suggesting adequate knowledge and attitudes about pediatric pain management. The results showed there was no significant relationship between age and a total score p-value of 0.740, as well as between academic levels and the same p-value of 0.397.
conclusionThis study highlights the importance of undergraduate nursing education in pediatric pain management. The findings suggest that students may benefit from additional training in pain assessment and pharmacological interventions.
