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

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a leading healthcare-associated infection worldwide, associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, higher costs, and antimicrobial resistance. Nurses play a critical role in prevention through evidence-based catheter insertion, maintenance, and timely removal. Aim: To assess factors associated with knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices regarding CAUTI among nurses in Aljouf City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 184 registered nurses in governmental hospitals in Aljouf City using a structured questionnaire on demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward CAUTI prevention. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, and Spearman's correlations. Results: Overall, 77.7% of nurses had good knowledge, 84.8% showed positive attitudes, and 84.8% had adequate preventive practices. Knowledge scores differed significantly by years of experience ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates generally favorable knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward CAUTI prevention among Al-Jouf nurses, with moderate correlations, attitudes showed the strongest association with preventive practices.
