Competency of nurses on safe administration of cytotoxic drugs: Gaps and intervention.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundChemotherapeutic drugs (CDs) have been used for many years in cancer treatment. During preparation, transportation, administration, and disposal of chemotherapy waste and bodily fluids, nurses' health is at risk due to improper handling of CDs. Nurses are usually inexperienced and lack knowledge regarding containment and disposal of spills. MATERIALS AND
methodsA quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. Data were collected from 117 nurses divided into experimental (n = 59) and comparison (n = 58) group. Intervention was given to experimental group comprising of 1 hour theoretical teaching and 20 minutes duration simulation-aided hands-on sessions on chemotherapy administration.
resultThe study findings showed that the mean post-test competency (44.31 ± 4.39), knowledge (20.69 ± 2.54), skills (15.42 ± 2.09), and clinical decision-making ability (8.19 ± 1.25) scores of nurses in experimental group were higher than the mean-post-test competency (15.17 ± 3.01), knowledge (6.26 ± 2.87), skills (8.34 ± 0.71), and clinical decision-making ability (0.57 ± 0.77) scores in comparison group.
conclusionSimulation-based learning on safe administration of cytotoxic drugs was effective in enhancing the competency of nurses.
