Effectiveness of a Structured Disaster Management Training Program on Nurses' Disaster Readiness for Response to Emergencies and Disasters: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of nursing management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background: Most frontline nurses lack sufficient readiness for effective disaster response. Therefore, designing a disaster management training program (DMTP) to promote nurses' readiness for disaster response is imperative. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured DMTP on nurses' readiness for response to disasters. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. One hundred eligible nurses, recruited using convenience sampling from a medical centre in northern Taiwan, were randomly assigned to either the experimental (EG, Results: Ninety-four nurses (94%) completed the study, and 100 nurses were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. While participants in the EG had increased readiness for disaster response after training and at the 12-week follow-up, those in the CG exhibited no differences between baseline and 12-week follow-up. When the group × time interaction was examined, the EG had a greater increase in readiness for disaster response and its four domains, including emergency response, clinical management, self-protection, and personal preparedness after 12 weeks, than the CG. Conclusion: A two-day structured DMTP utilizing multiple teaching strategies through transdisciplinary collaborations is recommended to enhance hospital nurses' readiness for disaster response.
