Knowledge and Attitude of Nurses in Wuxi, China Towards Alzheimer's Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Review in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimThis study investigated knowledge and attitude towards Alzheimer's disease among nurses in China.
designA cross-sectional design.
methodsA total of 186 nurses were recruited in Wuxi, China from January to March 2024. The Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale and Dementia Attitudes Scale were used to evaluate nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards Alzheimer's disease. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were utilised to evaluate the levels and influencing factors of their knowledge and attitudes towards Alzheimer's disease.
resultsThe participants' average the Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale and Dementia Attitudes Scale scores were 20.82 ± 2.31 (approximately 69.4% correctly) and 86.23 ± 14.14 (approximately 61.6%), respectively. Professional titles and whether or not they had received previous training about Alzheimer's Disease were among the factors affecting their dementia knowledge. Education background and workplace were the influencing factors of nurses' attitude towards dementia.
conclusionNursing personnel in the Wuxi region demonstrate a limited understanding of Alzheimer's disease, coupled with positive attitudes towards its care. It is imperative to implement effective strategies to enhance in-service training for nurses regarding dementia. This initiative aims to elevate their level of knowledge, improve their attitudes towards dementia care, and ultimately enhance the quality of nursing provided to individuals with dementia.
