Nursing perception and practices in N95 mask reuse in intensive care: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto analyze Intensive Care Unit nursing professionals' perceptions and practices regarding safe N95 mask use in reuse protocols.
methodsa cross-sectional study conducted in Intensive Care Units.
resultstwo hundred sixty-five professionals participated. Most did not feel safe with the adopted protocol. Their main concerns were humidity, dirt, and storage. Less than 1% mentioned filtration efficiency or training. Fifty-three point six percent (seven days) and 74.1% (15 days) received training, primarily in 2020. Donning and doffing were the most frequently discussed topics. Seal verifications and visual inspections were always performed by 20.9% and 46.4% (seven days), and by 26.8% and 35.7% (15 days), respectively. There was a significant association between training and seal verification in the seven-day protocol. All reported a lack of dedicated storage space for N95 masks.
conclusionsthe perception of safety was weak, and training for safe reuse was insufficient.
