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

backgroundModern healthcare systems are experiencing a rapid state of change, and it is evidence-based practice (EBP) that is playing a key role in ensuring safe and quality patient care. While EBP has been correlated with favorable patient outcomes, its predictive association with the quality of nursing work life (QNWL) has not been explored, especially in the Middle East region like Jordan.

aimThis study evaluated EBP knowledge, attitudes, practices, and barriers among Jordanian nurses and factors that predict QNWL.

methodsDescriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional research designs have been used. A convenience sample of 198 nurses in five Jordanian hospitals was completed in EBPQ, EBP Barriers Scale, and Brooks' QNWL Scale.

resultsParticipants (mean age 29.99; 58.1% female) reported a moderate level of EBP (M = 111.30) or QNWL (M = 153.45). Organizational issues were the greatest challenge to EBP implementation. Higher levels of QNWL had significant relationships with being female, having a bachelor's degree, and working in private hospitals. Of interest, EBP knowledge was one of the predictors of QNWL, followed by educational level. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Findings indicate that strengthening the knowledge of nurses on EBP can improve QNWL. Structured skill-based EBP training and skills development through mentorship should be given priority. Managers should encourage conducive environments with time and resource protection. Policymakers should make EBP competencies part of continuing professional development as well as licensure standards. Future studies should use longitudinal and intervention designs to investigate mechanisms of causal influence and test EBP-oriented workforce strategies.
