Triage decision-making levels and affective factors of nurses working in cardiovascular emergency department and intensive care units: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundEmergency department (ED) and intensive care units (ICUs) are areas where triage is frequently applied. This study was conducted to evaluate the triage decision-making levels and affective factors of nurses working in adult cardiovascular ED and ICUs.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary cardiovascular healthcare center. The triage decision-making levels of nurses were assessed by the "Triage Decision Making Inventory (TDMI)".
resultsThe mean age of the nurses (n = 110) was determined as 28.39 ± 4.71 years, the duration of working in ED/ICUs was determined as 45.47 ± 29.17 months and the duration of professional experience was determined as 65.35 ± 48.46 months. The majority of the nurses in the study were female (77.3%), single (61.8%), bachelor's degree graduates (76.4%) and night - day shift workers (76.4%). The mean TDMI total score of the nurses was determined as 171.12 ± 21.02. A statistically significant association was found between the nurses' age, duration of professional experience, gender, working type, receiving triage training after graduation and considering themselves competent in triage and their triage decision-making levels (p < 0.05).
conclusionIt was determined that the triage decision-making levels of nurses working in adult cardiovascular ED and ICUs were high, but the majority of them did not consider themselves competent in triage. According to the results of this study, it is recommended that triage training of nurses be supported by institutions and triage roadmaps be created in clinics. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
