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

purposeTo investigate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of ICU nurses in tertiary hospitals regarding oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with orotracheal intubation, and to analyze its influencing factors.

methodsUsing the convenient sampling method, through the self-designed questionnaire of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of ICU nurses on oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with orotracheal intubation, 201 ICU nurses from 5 tertiary hospitals in Shanxi Province were investigated. The questionnaire included 34 items in three dimensions: knowledge, attitudes and behavior.

resultsA total of 201 ICU nurses were surveyed, and the total score of KAP questionnaire was (85.39 ± 13.21), the knowledge dimension score was (11.98 ± 3.45), the attitude dimension score was (39.53 ± 7.86) points, and the behavior dimension score was (33.88 ± 5.90). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that academic qualifications, gender, and whether they had studied relevant literature were the influencing factors of ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude, and behavior on orotracheal intubation (P < 0.05).

conclusionICU nurses have a good attitude towards oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with orotracheal intubation, but their knowledge level and behavior need to be improved, and ICU managers should pay attention to the systematic training of oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with orotracheal intubation, so as to promote the change of nursing behavior and improve the quality of clinical nursing. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
