Nurses' Perceptions of Psychedelics to Address Mental Health Problems in the United States.
Article in Psychedelic medicine (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To explore nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and perceived social norms about psychedelic use to address mental health conditions. Methods: Data were collected through an anonymous e-survey of Minnesota registered nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners in Spring 2023; the pool was randomly selected from the Minnesota Board of Nursing registry. Results: A total of 1133 nurses completed the survey. Respondents were generally demographically representative of Minnesota nurses. Nurses exhibited mixed attitudes toward psychedelic decriminalization (45.7% in favor, 20.1% against, and 34.2% unsure). Participants expressed openness to therapeutic use (mean = 20.5 and standard deviation = 4.3), interest in observing psychedelic sessions (80.7%), and believed in the importance of the role of nurses in the realm of psychedelic health care (74.1%). However, nurses reported low confidence in their knowledge about the potential benefits of psychedelics for the treatment of mental health concerns (26.5% confident) and mechanisms of action (21.2% confident). Conclusion: With the potential Food and Drug Administration reclassification and approval of psychedelics for treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction, nurses are poised to play a crucial role in supporting scalable and equitable access to psychedelic treatment and information. Nurses and their health care professional counterparts require additional education and new competency development to appropriately and knowledgeably support evidence-based psychedelic use to treat various mental health conditions.
