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

aimThis study explores contextual factors affecting evidence-based practice (EBP) adoption among Spanish nurses, examining their interaction with sociodemographic and practice variables to enhance implementation strategies.

designA national multicenter study employing a cross-sectional online survey design was conducted with an intentional sample of 934 voluntary Spanish practicing nurses.

methodsParticipants completed the 12-item Barriers/facilitators dimension of the HS-EBP instrument, along with sociodemographic, training and practice information relevant to EBP implementation. Psychometric networks have been utilised as a novel analytical approach.

resultsThe HS-EBP scores confirm validity and reliability for assessing EBP barriers and facilitators among Spanish nurses. Primary barriers include inadequate EBP discussion spaces, lack of guidance, resistance to change, patient apathy, time constraints and support gaps. Key facilitators are higher academic qualifications, EBP training, professional development participation, educational institution employment and student supervision. Focus is needed on rural nurses and those with heavy clinical duties, facing major EBP barriers.

conclusionSpanish nurses encounter organisational barriers to EBP implementation, including insufficient incentives and support. Prioritising hands-on training, professional development in teaching and research and robust programs can enhance nurses' ability to advance EBP implementation. IMPACT: The HS-EBP questionnaire is reliable in measuring organisational and contextual factors affecting EBP implementation. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: Successful implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in the Spanish healthcare system depends on developing an appropriate organisational culture and securing support from formal leaders. Additionally, fostering an understanding of the importance of patients and their families among Spanish nurses is crucial for promoting EBP adoption.
