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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aimed to adapt and validate the HAInnovPrev scale, a tool for assessing the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) among nursing students. HAIs are a significant global health concern, particularly in healthcare education, where student training and institutional protocols must align to prevent infections effectively. The development process employed a quantitative approach, utilizing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on data collected from 347 nursing students across two universities in Peru. This method refined the instrument, reducing the original 15 dimensions to 11 well-defined factors, encompassing key aspects such as institutional compliance, personal motivation, emotional exhaustion, and adherence to hygiene protocols. The results demonstrated that the instrument's 11-dimensional structure was statistically valid, with measures such as the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett's sphericity indicating suitability for factor analysis. Internal consistency reliability, evaluated through omega coefficients, showed strong reliability for most dimensions (
