Better Attitudes toward Cybersecurity and Greater Self-Control Predict Lower Risky Online Behaviors among Nurses.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 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
The current study examined the moderating effect of self-control on the relationship between attitudes toward cybersecurity and risky online behaviors among direct care nurses.A cross-sectional study collected data from 260 direct care nurses in Saudi Arabia using a self-reported questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis and simple slope analysis examined the moderation effect of self-control on the relationship between attitudes toward cybersecurity and risky online behaviors.We found that a better attitude toward cybersecurity and greater self-control predicted lower risky online behaviors. Simple slope tests revealed a significant negative association between attitude toward cybersecurity and risky online behaviors at low levels of self-control, but this association disappears at high levels of self-control, meaning that high levels of self-control have a protective/moderating effect on the relationship between attitude toward cybersecurity and risky online behaviors.Self-control moderates the effect of attitudes on online practices. The negative attitudes' influence on risky online behaviors is stronger when self-control is low. On the other hand, at high levels of self-control, individuals may engage in safer practices regardless of their attitudes.
