1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionCultural competence is essential for equitable, safe, and person-centered care in diverse populations. Nurses need to develop cultural understanding and abilities to provide culturally competent care. This study aimed to describe cultural competence among nurses working in somatic hospitals and investigate associations between demographic characteristics, knowledge and experience, self-efficacy, and cultural competence of nurses.

methodAn online survey on nurses' cultural competence was conducted with 201 nurses from three hospitals in Norway. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations between demographic characteristics, knowledge, and self-efficacy with cultural competence.

resultsSignificant associations were identified between age, gender, birthplace, international experience, and hospital affiliation with dimensions of cultural competence. Knowledge and self-efficacy of nurses were identified as critical factors positively associated with cultural competence. DISCUSSION: Demographic factors influence nurses' cultural competence and underline the importance of tailored training. Promoting knowledge and self-efficacy can improve culturally congruent care.
