From knowledge to impact: revolutionizing nursing practices in biomedical waste management for sustainable healthcare excellence.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06718660 (Empowering Nursing Competence in Biomedical Waste Management At El-Minia University Hospitals), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundEffective biomedical waste management is essential for minimizing environmental contamination and safeguarding public health. Nurses play a pivotal role in this process, yet their competence often requires enhancement, particularly in resource-limited settings.
aimThis study evaluates the effectiveness of an educational program in improving nursing competence in biomedical waste management at El-Minia University Hospitals.
methodsA quasi-experimental design was employed with pre- and post-intervention assessments measuring nurses' knowledge and practices. The intervention, structured into three sessions, combined lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. Seventy-five nurses participated, and data were collected using validated tools. Statistical analyses included paired t-tests and correlation assessments.
resultsPost-intervention assessments revealed a significant improvement in nurses' knowledge (p < 0.001), attitudes, and practices (p < 0.001) related to biomedical waste management. Additionally, the correlation between knowledge and practice increased post-intervention (r = 0.62, p < 0.001), highlighting a stronger positive association between these variables.
conclusionStructured educational programs effectively enhance nursing competence in biomedical waste management, contributing to safer healthcare environments. Further research should explore long-term sustainability and curriculum integration. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT06718660 on 5/12/2024.
