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

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the readiness of nursing students in China to respond to patients experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) and to identify key influencing factors. Background: Nurses play a crucial role in providing care and support to IPV survivors. However, limited research has examined the extent to which nursing students are prepared for this responsibility. Gaining insights into their level of readiness and the factors that shape it is essential for informing educational strategies and policy development. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 532 nursing students recruited from four public universities in Hunan Province, China, via multistage sampling. Methods: Data were collected using validated instruments, including the Readiness to Encounter Partner Abuse Patients (READI) Scale and the Modified Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS). Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine the associations among perceived knowledge, attitudes, skill preparedness, and readiness. Logistic regression (LR) was employed to identify significant predictors of readiness, and mediation analyses were performed to assess the intermediary roles of perceived knowledge, skill preparedness, and attitudes. Results: 82.7% of participants reported poor readiness to respond to IPV cases. Significant predictors of readiness included perceived knowledge (OR=2.938; 95% CI: 2.246-3.931), skill preparedness (OR=3.592; 95% CI: 2.700-4.095), attitudes (OR=4.472; 95% CI: 1.925-10.800), IPV-related education (OR=2.654; 95% CI: 1.297-5.230), and IPV training experience (OR=3.072; 95% CI: 1.444-6.310). Mediation analyses further revealed that both perceived knowledge and skill preparedness partially mediated the relationship between IPV training and readiness. Conclusion: The study identified a substantial gap in the readiness of nursing students to manage IPV-related cases, underscoring the critical need to enhance educational and training programs. Incorporating comprehensive IPV-related content into nursing curricula may significantly improve preparedness and foster survivor-centered care within the healthcare system.
