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

Background: Traumatic injured patients frequently present with both acute physical injuries and the exacerbation of preexisting trauma events, substantially compromising their mental health and quality of life. Trauma-informed care is a supportive intervention approach that requires understanding of trauma experiences encountered by patients. Nurses must follow the principles of trauma-informed care during interactions with patients to improve clinical outcomes. However, the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding trauma-informed care among nurses in trauma centers has not been fully investigated. Objective: To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding trauma-informed care among nurses caring for traumatic injured patients in trauma center-certified hospitals and to identify potential influencing factors. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Settings and Participants: Nurses from 11 trauma center-certified hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Method: The assessment was conducted using standardized instruments, including a demographic survey, a trauma-informed care knowledge, attitude, and practice (TIC-KAP) questionnaire, Interpersonal Reactivity Index-Chinese version (IRI-C), and Organizational Climate Scale for Nursing (OCSN). Univariate analysis and subsequent multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore associations between TIC-KAP and other factors. Results: A total of 304 individuals participated in the survey, with 267 valid responses. Multiple linear regression analysis identified several significant predictors of TIC-KAP scores: work in emergency department, prior knowledge of trauma-informed care, psychological trauma nursing training experience, dedicated psychological nursing positions, IRI-C scores, and OCSN scores. Conclusion: Although the participating nurses demonstrated favorable scores in trauma-informed care attitude and practice, significant gaps persist in knowledge domains, with emergency nurses exhibiting particularly notable deficiencies. The implementation of trauma-informed care could be promoted through several strategic interventions: engagement in trauma-informed care or psychological nursing training programs, establishment of dedicated psychological nursing positions, and improvement of both empathy level among nurses and organizational climate.
