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

objectiveTo explore the relationship between mindful attention awareness and attitudes toward social handwashing among undergraduate nursing and midwifery students.

methodA cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 679 undergraduate nursing and midwifery students. Data were collected using two scales: (1) the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and (2) the Attitude Scale toward Social Handwashing (ASSHW). Additionally, the participants provided data on their sociodemographic characteristics and responded to an inventory of handwashing practices. Relationships between scores were examined using Spearman's rho.

resultsThe students' mindful attention levels (MAAS) averaged 44.97 ± 11.46, and their attitudes toward social handwashing (ASSHW) averaged 78.32 ± 13.67. While no direct correlation was found between overall ASSHW and MAAS scores, there were positive correlations between mindful attention levels and certain ASSHW sub-dimensions, as well as with specific handwashing behaviors such as frequency and duration.

conclusionThese findings suggest that mindful attention may support better hand hygiene practices among nursing and midwifery students.
