Development of ventilator associated pneumonia prevention knowledge and attitudes scale.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundVentilator-associated pneumonia is the nosocomial infection of lung parenchyma tissue. The role of intensive care nurses is important especially in avoiding the preventable risk factors. Despite all the guidelines formed in recent years, VAP development in intensive care units remains to be an important problem.
objectivesThe present study aims to develop the Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Prevention Knowledge and Attitudes Scale.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted in two hospitals in the eastern part of Turkey between July 2016 and December 2017 with the participation of 230 nurses.
resultsResults showed that the 5-point Likert scale was formed with 15 items and two factors. Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was found 0.89.
conclusionsThe developed scale was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool that could be used in assessing health professionals' knowledge and attitudes about ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention.
