A Research on the Relationship Between Intensive Care Nurses' Individual and Professional Characteristics, Decision-Making Styles, and Attitudes Toward Evidence-Based Nursing.

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
aimThis descriptive correlational study aimed to examine the relationships between intensive care nurses' individual and professional characteristics, decision-making styles, and attitudes toward evidence-based nursing practice.
designCross-sectional study.
methodsThe study was conducted with 279 intensive care nurses working in the intensive care units of two university hospitals in Istanbul between October and December 2022. Data were collected using a survey comprising a Descriptive Information Form, the Nurse Decision Making Scale, and the Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire.
resultsA structural equation model was developed to analyse the relationships among variables. Examination of path coefficients revealed that nurses' decision-making levels were significantly predicted by the beliefs and expectations toward the EBNP subscale of evidence-based nursing practice (β2 = 0.48, p < 0.001, t = 9.67), duration of intensive care professional experience (β2 = 0.13, p = 0.008, t = 2.66), and engagement with current professional publications (β2 = 0.22, p < 0.001, t = 4.33). The regression model accounted for 35% of the variance in nurses' decision-making levels.
conclusionDespite generally positive attitudes toward evidence-based nursing among intensive care nurses, the majority demonstrated a strong tendency toward intuitive decision-making approaches. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public involvement.
