Professional Use and Acceptance of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study From a Developing Country.
Review in Nursing open, 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
aimThe purpose of this study was to investigate Palestinian nurses' knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and practices towards complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as well as the factors that influence these behaviours.
designA descriptive cross-sectional design was used.
methodsA questionnaire was distributed to nurses at healthcare institutions throughout Palestine using social media. Information on knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and practices of CAM was collected, as well as demographic data. SPSS version 20 was used for analysis.
resultsA total of 202 subjects (female, 112; male, 90) participated in the study. The mean knowledge, belief, attitude and practice of CAM scores were 61 out of 80 (75%), 25 out of 43 (58%), 33 out of 54 (61%) and 15 out of 40 (38%), respectively. Knowledge was significantly negatively associated with age and work experience (p < 0.05). Males and lower-income nurses reported stronger beliefs in CAM than other groups (p < 0.05). Attitudes towards CAM were statistically significantly affected by gender, age and chronic disease status (p < 0.05). Regression analyses showed that work experience was a predictor of CAM knowledge. Gender, place of graduation and income were found to be predictors of CAM beliefs. The presence of chronic conditions was also a predictor of the practice of CAM. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
