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

aimThe purpose of this study was to investigate the current status and potential profiles of clinical nurses' implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs), explore influencing factors across different profiles, and provide a basis for developing strategies to enhance clinical nurses' EBP competence.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsFrom January to March 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to select 289 clinical nurses from 24 provinces across China. A survey was conducted using a demographic questionnaire and the three EBP scales-short version to assess implementation. Latent profile analysis identified distinct latent profiles of EBP implementation among Chinese clinical nurses, and multivariate logistic regression examined the factors influencing profile membership.

resultsThe results revealed three latent profiles of EBP implementation among clinical nurses: low participation type (15%), moderate participation type (27%), and high participation type (58%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that EBP beliefs, EBP organizational culture, and readiness were the primary influencing factors of EBP implementation.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that Chinese clinical nurses generally exhibit positive engagement in EBP implementation. EBP beliefs, EBP organizational culture, and readiness are key factors influencing implementation. Efforts should focus on fostering EBP beliefs while simultaneously providing a supportive implementation environment to ensure sustainable EBP.
