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
purposeThis study examined associations between the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and patient safety nursing activities among emergency department nurses. It also identified factors associated with these activities to provide foundational data for developing strategies to strengthen patient safety nursing practice.
methodsParticipants were nurses working in emergency medical centers at seven general hospitals with more than 350 beds in the Daejeon-Chungcheong region. Data were collected from August 12 to August 30, 2024, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, t-tests, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.
resultsThe mean score for patient safety nursing activities was 4.43 out of 5. The mean TPB construct scores were 6.39 out of 7 for attitude, 6.48 for subjective norm, 5.10 for perceived behavioral control, and 5.65 for behavioral intention. Patient safety nursing activities were positively correlated with attitude (r = .55, p < .001), subjective norm (r = .55, p < .001), perceived behavioral control (r = .59, p < .001), and behavioral intention (r = .65, p < .001). Multiple regression identified behavioral intention (β = .37, p < .001), subjective norm (β = .21, p = .002), attitude (β = .16, p = .017), perceived behavioral control (β = .15, p = .048), and age of 30 to < 35 years (β = .18, p = .010) as significant explanatory factors. The model explained 63% of the variance in patient safety nursing activities (F = 22.21, p < .001).
conclusionThe findings support the applicability of the TPB for explaining patient safety nursing activities among emergency department nurses. Educational interventions and organizational strategies that strengthen behavioral intention, subjective norm, attitude, and perceived behavioral control may help improve patient safety nursing activities and support safer clinical practice.
