Registered Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Toward Climate-Sensitive Vector-Borne Diseases: Findings From a Cross-Sectional Survey.

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
objectiveClimate change is contributing to increasing rates of vector-borne diseases, affecting global population health. As the largest group of regulated health professionals, nurses play an integral role in climate-related health challenges. The purpose of this research study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of registered nurses in Canada related to climate sensitive vector-borne diseases.
designCross-sectional survey. SAMPLE: A national online survey was distributed to practicing registered nurses, through contact with nursing organizations and regulatory bodies, as well as social media. MEASUREMENTS: Three hundred and eighty-two survey responses were included in data analysis.
resultsResearch findings suggest that nurses' knowledge on climate change and vector-borne diseases was limited, especially among frontline nurses and those in Western and Northern regions of Canada. There was greater knowledge of Lyme disease compared to West Nile virus, particularly among nurses working in endemic areas. Participants did not often consider vector-borne diseases in practice and demonstrated a lack of confidence and preparedness in addressing in practice.
conclusionsThe study validates that while climate-related issues are important for nurses, nurses must be better prepared to address vector-borne diseases in practice and assume a greater role in leading change to advocate for a climate-resilient future.
