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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate antimicrobial stewardship participation and its associated factors among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses based on the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior (COM-B) model. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among ICU nurses from 11 hospitals across China in March 2026. Data on demographic and occupational characteristics were collected using a general information questionnaire. Antimicrobial stewardship participation and its influencing factors were assessed using the ICU Nurses' Participation in Antimicrobial Stewardship Behavior and Influencing Factors (ASP-BF) Scale, and nursing professional self-efficacy was measured using the Nursing Professional Self-Efficacy (NPSE) Scale. Results: A total of 497 ICU nurses were included. The mean scores were 48.80 ± 9.86 for capability (possible range: 13-65), 38.42 ± 10.60 for opportunity (possible range: 11-55), 82.55 ± 16.86 for motivation (possible range: 23-115), 59.94 ± 13.57 for behavior (possible range: 16-80), and 29.60 ± 4.45 for NPSE (possible range: 7-35). Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that capability ( Conclusion: ICU nurses had generally favorable levels of capability, opportunity, motivation, behavior, and NPSE in relation to antimicrobial stewardship participation. Motivation was directly associated with participation behavior, while capability, opportunity, and NPSE were associated with behavior through motivation. In addition, antimicrobial stewardship training was associated with better participation behavior. Future interventions should focus on strengthening institutional support, improving multidisciplinary collaboration and workflow conditions, and providing structured training to enhance nurses' participation in antimicrobial stewardship.
