Comparing nurses' and patients' perceptions of dignity in burn care: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundMaintaining patients' dignity is a moral responsibility of nurses. Patients with burn injury experience changes in their body appearance, self-concept and social roles, which may lead to their fear of losing dignity. The aim of this study was to compare nurses' and patients' perceptions of preserving dignity of patients with burn injury.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 nurse-patient dyads at Amir-Al-Moemenin Burn Hospital, Shiraz, Iran between August 2023 to February 2024. Data were collected using patient dignity questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software version 23.0, utilizing descriptive tests, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon, and Spearman's correlation coefficient.
resultsA significant difference was found between the overall scores of nurses' (143.21 ± 13.29) and patients' (136.70 ± 13.8) perceptions of preserving patients' dignity (p = 0.002). Furthermore, a significant difference was observed between their perceptions of two dignity dimensions including communication and privacy (p < 0.001). However, no significant difference was found between their perceptions of the two dimensions of autonomy and respect (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThis study highlights disparities in nurses' and patients' perceptions of preserving burn patients' dignity so that patients' perception of the nurses maintained their dignity was lower than what the nurses themselves believed. Therefore, nurses must pay more attention to maintaining the dignity of patients with burn injuries.
