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: COVID-19 is a major concern globally and locally in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Although the Saudi Ministry of Health has set standard precautions, the number of critical cases have not been reduced. During the global pandemic, nurses play very important roles when dealing with COVID-19 patients, with strong involvement in clinical management, awareness, knowledge sharing, and public safety. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and assess the level of knowledge, perception, and skills of nursing staff in the Majmaah region of Saudi Arabia regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Design and Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted through an online questionnaire specifically intended for nursing staff in the Majmaah region of Saudi Arabia. The survey yielded 66 responses. Findings: Findings suggest that the Knowledge scale is significantly strong and positive. Additionally, we found that preparedness and skill levels are similar between all age groups of nurses. Likewise, there was a significant difference between nurses who answered the survey in Arabic and those who completed it in English. The findings suggest that nursing staff have an acceptable level of knowledge and a positive outlook on overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: In conclusion, COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease that poses a significant threat to public health. The current study provides a comprehensive assessment of the knowledge, preparedness, and skills of the nursing staff in the Majmaah region of Saudi Arabia regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
