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

aimsThis study aimed to investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention among orthopaedic nurses in comprehensive hospitals in Yichang, Hubei Province, China, and to analyse influencing factors to provide a reference for implementing VTE prevention strategies.

methodsFrom February to March 2024, a total of 257 orthopaedic nurses from nine comprehensive hospitals in Yichang were surveyed using a convenience sampling method and investigated with a knowledge, attitudes and practices questionnaire for VTE prevention. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding VTE prevention among orthopaedic nurses.

resultsThe overall score for knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding VTE prevention among orthopaedic nurses was 88.54 ± 5.73, with knowledge scoring 73.56 ± 7.69, attitudes scoring 95.66 ± 7.79 and practices scoring 95.96 ± 7.04. Position, training frequency, quality inspection and discharge follow-up were significant factors influencing knowledge, attitudes and practices scores (p < 0.05).

conclusionsIn the orthopaedic departments of comprehensive hospitals in Yichang, Hubei Province, China, the overall level of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding VTE prevention among nurses is generally good, with positive attitudes and practices observed. However, there is potential for improvement in knowledge levels. Recommendations include enhancing standardized VTE training, improving knowledge levels, strengthening health education and ensuring discharge follow-up to optimize VTE prevention efforts.
