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

Objective: The aim of this study was to design a national and culturally appropriate questionnaire to assess the nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) for discharge planning of stroke patients and to test the reliability and validity of this questionnaire. Methods: This questionnaire was developed using domestic and international literature and combining the KAP theory. It covered eight aspects of basic knowledge, relevant knowledge, psychological cognition, emotional tendency, intentional behavior, assessment, implementation and evaluation of discharge planning for stroke patients. The item pool was established through Delphi expert inquiry to form a pre-survey questionnaire. The pre-survey was first administered to 60 clinical nurses, then tested on 626 clinical nurses. Finally the questionnaire's reliability was assessed through retest reliability, split-half reliability, and Cronbach's Results: The final formal questionnaire was used to assess nurses' KAP for discharge planning of stroke patients. The questionnaire consisted of 37 items in three dimensions: knowledge (12 items), attitude (10 items) and practice (15 items). The questionnaire had an average expert authority coefficient of 0.88, a consistency coefficient of 0.454, a total internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) of 0.909, a retest reliability of 0.924, and a content validity index of 0.972. The results of this study were calculated on a dimensional basis, resulting in the following standard scores: 84.01 (<85) for the knowledge dimension, 90.61 (>85) for the attitude dimension, and 81.83 (<85) for the practice dimension. The correlation coefficients between the three dimensions and the total questionnaire were 0.635, 0.659, and 0.566, respectively. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was 0.966, and the sphere test value was Conclusion: The questionnaire on nurses' KAP for discharge planning of stroke patients showed good reliability and validity. It is suitable for use by clinical nurses. Nurses in Level-3 hospitals across the country need to improve their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding discharge planning for stroke patients.
