The Impact of an Evidence-Based Practice Module on Nurses' Knowledge and Practices for Preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Among High-Risk Neonates: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: The most common type of nosocomial infection among neonates on mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) was ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). An Evidence-Based Practice Module for preventing VAP was highly recommended and crucial for enhancing nurses' knowledge levels and improving their practices in this domain. Objective: This study was designed to examine the impact of the Evidence-Based Practices Module on nurses' knowledge and their practices for preventing VAP among high-risk neonates in NICUs. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental (pre/post-test) design at two NICUs in Egypt-Banha Specialized Children's Hospital (Banha City) and Ain Shams University Hospital (Cairo)-to recruit a convenience sample (consisting of 200 male and female nurses) that served as a pre-/post-test group. The researchers employed three specific tools: a pre-test interview questionnaire (which was also utilized post-test), an Evidence-Based Practices Module for preventing VAP questionnaire, and an observational checklist concerning the nurse participants' knowledge and practices in preventing VAP (pre- and post-demonstration of an Evidence-Based Practices Module). Results: Participants' general knowledge improved significantly with VAP ( Conclusions: This study highlighted how the introduction of an Evidence-Based Practice Module positively impacted the nursing staff's knowledge and practices regarding the prevention of VAP in NICUs. It was recommended that the nursing staff implement the Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Evidence-Based Practices Module to enhance their professional development, promote safe and proper practices, and improve the quality of care provided to high-risk neonates.
