Perception, knowledge, and influencing factors of acute skin failure among critical care medical staff: a multicenter, cross-sectional study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge level of acute skin failure (ASF) among critical care medical staff and to identify the factors influencing this knowledge. Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in the intensive care units of four tertiary hospitals in Xiamen, China. A total of 481 physicians and nurses completed a validated, self-designed questionnaire assessing knowledge across eight domains of ASF. Results: The survey revealed a significant knowledge gap, with 60.5% (291/481) of participants demonstrating insufficient knowledge of ASF. Furthermore, 56.1% of respondents could not accurately differentiate ASF from pressure injuries. Multivariate logistic regression identified job category and years of experience as independent predictors of knowledge level. Physicians were significantly less knowledgeable than nurses ( Conclusion: Variations in familiarity with ASF concepts exist among critical care staff, reflecting differences in professional training frameworks, clinical responsibilities, and exposure patterns. The observed differences between physicians and nurses likely represent systematic variations in clinical focus and role-specific knowledge acquisition rather than absolute knowledge deficits. These findings highlight the need for interprofessional educational strategies that respect professional boundaries while fostering collaborative recognition of ASF as a shared clinical concern.
