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.

Abstract

Introduction: Pediatric pain is often not addressed properly in the literature, which suggests a research gap in pediatric health-care providers' knowledge and attitudes toward the treatment of pain experienced by children in various health-care settings. To improve future practice in this area, nursing interns should be well versed in pediatric pain assessment and management to improve pediatric pain management practices in collaboration with other health-care professionals. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the levels of knowledge and attitudes toward pediatric pain management among nursing interns at a specific academic institution. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study employed an online questionnaire to collect data from 119 female nursing interns in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In addition to collecting the participants' demographic profiles, the questionnaire gathered data using the Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain instrument. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated using SPSS for Windows (v. 21.0). Results: The nursing interns' overall knowledge and attitudes toward pediatric pain management were found to be poor, with a mean score of 36.59% (standard deviation, 13.2). Conclusion: Additional education and clinical training for nursing interns is essential to enhance their knowledge and attitudes toward pediatric pain management.
