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

aimTo translate the Nurse Clinical Reasoning Scale into Spanish, examine their psychometric properties and to determine the clinical reasoning levels of Spanish nurses.

designThe original Nurse Clinical Reasoning Scale instrument was translated into Spanish, with the objective of analysing its contents, semantics, and technical and conceptual equivalence. A cross-sectional multicentre study with an online questionnaire survey of registered nurses working in Spain was used to identify the levels of clinical reasoning among respondents.

methodsThe original scale was translated from the English language into the Spanish language through six steps following the guidelines of Sousa and Rojjanasrirat. Data was collected from April 2022 to June 2023 through an anonymous online questionnaire.

resultsFive competitive and public Spanish hospitals participated in this study. The sample included 153 registered nurses. The validity for the entire scale indicated an excellent result. The general level of clinical reasoning among nurses in this study was good. Cronbach's alpha of the Spanish version was practically the same as the original version. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The Nurse Clinical Reasoning Scale is a valid and reliable instrument, and the Spanish version can be used to evaluate the clinical reasoning levels of nurses in a Spanish context. The tool will help to identify areas for improvement in clinical reasoning in nurses and may improve their patient care.
