Nurses' knowledge, attitude toward pain management, and utilization of the pain assessment scale: A scoping review.
Review 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. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Effective pain management is crucial in nursing and medical care, requiring nurses to understand concepts, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for accurate pain assessment and treatment. Nurses must provide support and employ both pharmacological and nonpharmacological pain management approaches by using a systemic process with a valid and reliable scale for accurate pain assessment, while also assessing the efficacy of the management. This scoping review aimed to identify gaps in nursing literature regarding nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management and utilization of pain assessment scales. A systemic search of PubMed, EBSCO, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar was conducted to gather relevant literature. A total of 101 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, with 26 meeting the criteria for inclusion in the scoping review. The review found that nurses lacked sufficient knowledge and attitudes toward pain management and assessment tools. Additionally, it is recommended that staff nurses and students participate in regular in-service training, workshops, and seminars. Educational and quality-improvement programs could enhance their knowledge, attitude, and expertise in pain management.
