From knowledge management to evidence-based practice among nurses: a structural equation modeling study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundKnowledge management can provide effective strategies for enhancing the evidence-based practice (EBP) of nurses. Accordingly, by establishing a knowledge management system in healthcare centers, the knowledge present in the organization can be provided to all staff. Therefore, this research aimed at examining the model predicted from the effect of knowledge management on EBP among nurses.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 250 nurses who were selected using a cluster random sampling method in Mashhad, Iran. Data were collected using a questionnaire, which comprised demographic information (4 items), knowledge management (23 items), and evidence-based practice (EBP) (30 items). Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25 and AMOS 24.
resultsKnowledge management showed a direct effect on forming EBP (β = 0.229, p < 0.007, CI 95%=0.075-0.383). In addition, knowledge management through acquiring knowledge about EBP and generating attitudes about EBP showed an indirect effect on forming EBP (β = 0.015, p < 0.001, CI 95%=0.004-0.036).
conclusionsToday a massive volume of knowledge is generated in healthcare centers. Thus, the implementation of knowledge management systems in these centers would lead to the storage and organization of the knowledge of staff in healthcare centers. Given their important role in patient care, nurses can acquire positive knowledge and attitude about EBP through knowledge management and would be able to employ EBP instead of traditional practice when providing nursing care.
