Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aim of this research was to explore Lebanese and Norwegian nursing students' cross-cultural perceptions of infection prevention and control (IPC) climate of their training hospitals after COVID-19.
designA qualitative descriptive research design informed by descriptive phenomenology was used.
methodSemi-structured interviews were conducted among 8 Lebanese and 7 Norwegian nursing students. Data collection continued until data saturation was achieved. Inductive thematic analysis was employed over the course of 3 months.
resultsThe thematic analysis yielded four themes reflecting professional and behavioral influences on IPC, including "Positive perception and importance of IPC", "Lacking a Role Model", and "Prioritizing task completion over safety", and "Feeling Incompetent". Cross cultural differences were mainly connected to organizational and contextual factors, namely: "Lack of equipment", "Culture of patient contact", "Heightened attention vs. variable adherence to IPC", and "Organizational differences".
conclusionLebanese and Norwegian nursing students shared highly similar experiences and challenges in infection prevention and control, while some culturally relevant differences were noted.
