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

objectiveto analyze the relationship between the knowledge, prevention, attitudes and opinion of nursing professionals in adult intensive care units regarding COVID-19 and their sociodemographic and work characteristics.

methodcross-sectional, analytical study. 124 nursing professionals who worked in adult intensive care units after the COVID-19 pandemic were included. To measure the variables, the Awareness, Attitudes, Prevention and Perceptions of COVID-19 Outbreak among Nurses questionnaire was used. To identify differences between the groups, the following tests were used: Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U, Pearson correlation, and multiple analysis in logistic regression for each dimension.

resultsparticipants with a workplace in private institutions showed a tendency towards better scores in awareness OR=3.92 (95%CI:1.50; 10.25), in prevention OR=8.93 (95%CI:3.12; 25.565), in attitude OR=2.77 (95%CI: 1.16; 6.58) and in perception with an OR= 19.65 (95%CI: 5.85; 65.94). In attitude, male participants showed a better result with OR=3.31 (95%CI: 1.18; 9.23) and in relation to perception, those who showed the best results were those with postgraduate studies as specialists OR=7.60 (95%CI: 1.73; 33.23).

conclusionworking in a private institution and having a postgraduate specialization degree were related to better scores in the dimensions of the scale.

background(1) Years of experience presented a positive correlation with knowledge. (2) High levels of awareness, practices, prevention and opinions were obtained. (3) Professionals with specialization have higher COVID-19 KAB scores. (4) Older nursing professionals tended to have lower scores in the dimensions of the instrument (knowledge, prevention, attitude and opinion). (5) The pandemic period improves knowledge and practices in nursing.
