Needlestick and Sharps Injuries Among Nursing Students in Palestine: Prevalence, Reporting Practices, and Associated Factors.
Article in Nursing research and practice, 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: Needlestick and sharps injuries (NSIs) are a major occupational hazard among nursing students. Although previous studies in Palestine have reported prevalence and awareness, analytically driven evidence identifying factors independently associated with NSIs remains limited. Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence, experiences, and reporting practices of NSIs and to identify factors independently associated with NSIs among nursing students in the southern West Bank, Palestine. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling among 398 bachelor's nursing students from four universities. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multivariable logistic regression ( Results: The prevalence of NSIs was 28.6% ( Conclusion: NSIs are relatively common among nursing students in this setting. The findings suggest that perceived stress is associated with NSI occurrence; however, due to the cross-sectional design, causal inferences cannot be made. Further longitudinal research is needed to understand causal pathways, explore additional contributing factors, and inform effective prevention strategies.
