Critical care nurses' self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: As frontline healthcare workers, nurses played major roles during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in intensive care units (ICUs) where severe cases were managed. In this cross-sectional study, ICU nurses in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, were surveyed to examine their self-efficacy during the pandemic. Hence, this study aimed to assess the level of SE among ICU nurses, and to explore its associations and differences based on specific sociodemographic and work-related factors. Methods: The data obtained from 135 ICU nurses using a self-administered validated General Self Efficacy (GSE) scale was subjected to the analysis of variance and Spearman coefficient Pearson correlation tests. Results: The self-efficacy score (31.8 ± 7.46) varied significantly according to age, nationality, and religion (at Conclusion: According to ICU nurses' self-reported GSE scale responses, they demonstrated a high level of self-efficacy during the pandemic. While these findings are based on a small and relatively homogenous cohort recruited at a single healthcare institution, they suggest that greater access to training and mentorship will enable Saudi ICU nurses to confidently and efficiently take increasingly independent and complex clinical roles.
