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

backgroundOrganizational culture and readiness are critical determinants of evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation. The Organizational Culture and Readiness Scale for System-Wide Integration of EBP (OCRSIEP), developed within the ARCC framework, is a validated tool to assess these dimensions, but no Italian version currently exists.

aimTo translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically validate the OCRSIEP and its short form in Italian.

methodsA validation study was conducted, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to derive and test the underlying model, followed by reliability testing with multiple indices and measurement invariance analyses.

resultsData were collected from 405 Italian nurses. Factor analyses supported a 19-item, six-factor structure explaining 59.5% of the variance, with a second-order factor indicating an overarching construct. The three-item short form showed strong model fit and explained 67% of the variance. Subscales demonstrated acceptable-to-excellent reliability, and partial scalar invariance was established across public and private facilities. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: The Italian OCRSIEP scales are valid and reliable tools to assess organizational readiness for EBP implementation. They can guide leaders, educators, and researchers in monitoring, benchmarking, and advancing EBP-oriented system transformation within the Italian healthcare context.
