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
aimHealthcare-associated infections are a major concern worldwide because they prolong hospital stays, increase costs for healthcare systems and negatively impact patients' health. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the Turkish Validity and Reliability of the InovSafeCare Scale for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections among undergraduate nursing students who provide patient care services.
designA methodological study design was used in this study.
methodsStudy was conducted with the participation of 1149 nursing students from the Muğla and Fethiye University Nursing Departments between March and May 2025. Data were collected via a face-to-face survey. Data were analysed using Lawshe content validity ratio, Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin coefficient, Bartlett test, exploratory factor analysis, principal component analysis, Varimax factor rotation method, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's α internal consistency coefficient, convergent validity, discriminant validity, test-retest and Spearman correlation coefficient tests.
resultsInovSafeCare Scale was determined to have a 13-factor structure. Composite reliability values were above 0.80 for all factors. The average explained variance values, an indicator of convergent validity, were at an acceptable level (≥ 0.50) for most factors. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient of the scale was 0.944, indicating excellent suitability for factor analysis of the sample size. Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ
conclusionThe InovSafeCare Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to prevent and control healthcare-associated infections among undergraduate nursing students who provide patient care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
