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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the level of commitment of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in Palestine to professional values, investigate the relationship between professional values and caring behavior, and determine the effect of sociodemographic characteristics on these constructs.

designA descriptive cross-sectional study was utilized. SETTING AND

participantsThe study was conducted between July 10 and September 15, 2024, among 205 ICU nurses working in hospitals across Palestine.

methodsData were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that included the Nursing Professional Values Scale-3 (NPVS-3) and the Caring Behaviors Assessment Tool Nursing Version-Short Form (CBAN-SF).

resultsThe overall mean score for commitment to professional values across all seven domains among nurses was 104.1 ± 16.6, with the highest mean score was related to the domain of "Caring". The mean score of caring behavior was 98.5 ± 12.9, and the "supportive/protective/corrective environment" domain had the highest score. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a moderate positive relationship (r = 0.40, p = 0.038) between professional values and caring behavior, with significant correlations between the subscales of both constructs (p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that professional values, work experience in nursing, and work experience in ICUs were significant predictors of caring behavior (p < 0.01).

conclusionICU nurses in Palestine demonstrated a high commitment to professional values, which was positively associated with their caring behaviors. IMPLICATIONS: These findings highlight the importance of fostering professional values in ICU nurses to improve the quality of patient care in critical care units.
