Nurses' Readiness to Undertake Controlled Negative Pressure Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds-Research Report.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Local wound treatment with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) shortens the healing process but requires the supervision of trained medical personnel for administering the therapeutic procedures. Professional supervision and control of the effectiveness of NPWT, as well as education conducted by nurses, are of particular importance for therapeutic and caring processes, both in hospital and at home. The aim of the study was the assessment of the perception of NPWT by certified nurses in the topical treatment of chronic wounds. The study was conducted using the method of estimation and a diagnostic survey with the proprietary NPWT perception questionnaire: 495 subjects were enrolled in the study and 401 respondents aged 25-67 years qualified for statistical analysis. Despite their experience and competence, the respondents critically assessed their knowledge, pointing to an average subjective level of knowledge related to wound treatment and a low level of knowledge related to NPWT. Most of the respondents had no experience of independent treatment using this method. The data obtained from the questionnaire clearly indicate theoretical preparation and high motivation to undertake activities related to the implementation of NPWT in their own practice. Low readiness values suggested that the subjects did not have the resources or the ability to implement the method. The perception of NPWT in the surveyed group of nurses was determined by numerous factors, including self-assessment of their own knowledge, motivation and readiness to use NPWT. A high level of NPWT perception was noted, despite low motivation related to the availability and knowledge of the method. Theoretical knowledge is insufficient to implement innovative methods in local wound treatment. Practical skills and motivation are indispensable elements that should be met during the training and education of nurses in the field of wound care.
