Eye care compliance in intensive care units: A concept analysis.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 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
Background: Despite the availability of evidence-based eye-care protocols, compliance among nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) remains inconsistent. Conceptual ambiguity between adherence, compliance, and protocol implementation has limited the development of valid measures and targeted interventions. Objective: To clarify and define the concept of Eye Care Compliance in ICUs through a systematic concept analysis. Methods: This concept analysis followed the eight-step framework of Walker and Avant. CINAHL Plus, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect were searched for studies published between 2015 and 2025. Database-specific search strings and eligibility criteria were applied, and studies were screened and selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Of 653 records identified, 19 studies met the inclusion criteria. Eye Care Compliance was clarified as an observable nursing behavior (what nurses do), distinct from protocol compliance (following externally imposed instructions) and protocol implementation (organizational adoption of a guideline). Three defining attributes were identified: (1) Conclusions: Eye Care Compliance is a distinct, nurse-mediated behavioral construct referring to the observable enactment of structured, evidence-based ocular protection in the ICU. This concept is operationalized as the behavior pattern in which ICU nurses systematically perform and record all protocol-specified ocular protection procedures-assessment, cleansing, eyelid closure or protection, and lubrication-for every patient meeting defined risk criterion, at the intervals required by evidence-based guidelines, with each episode documented to ensure care continuity and accountability.
