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

objectiveTo analyze the scientific literature on the effectiveness of educational interventions aimed at acquiring cultural competencies in nurses and nursing students.

methodSearches were conducted in the following databases PubMed, Lilacs, Esmerald, Scopus, and Scielo, focusing on the study of educational interventions related to cultural competencies. The PRISMA methodology was used, critical reading was performed with the CASPe tool, and random-effects meta-analyses were conducted with RevMan.

resultsThirteen studies were included, 11 of which were educational interventions. These significantly improved cultural competencies, especially in knowledge, communication skills, and self-awareness. Qualitatively, a positive impact was evidenced, and quantitatively, the effect on knowledge was statistically significant (P < 0.00001).

conclusionThe meta-analysis reveals a significantly positive effect, in a generalized way, of educational interventions on cultural competence in nurses and students. Continuous learning and innovative educational practices are necessary to maintain and reinforce knowledge. Further studies using both qualitative and quantitative methods are needed to improve both educational initiatives and cultural competence training.
