Interventions to enhance the use of Evidence Based Decision Making for Quality Care among Nurses: A Systematic Review.
Review in The East African health research journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Decision-making is the cognitive process that results in the selection of a course of action from several possible alternative options. The complexity of nurses' decisions requires a broad knowledge base and access to reliable sources of information; as well as a supportive working environment therefore requiring that decision making be evidence based with robust knowledge translation platforms to disseminate the evidence. This review aimed to assess interventions for enhancing the use of evidence-based decision making for quality care among nurses. Methods: This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis review (PRISMA 2020) checklist. This study protocol was registered with PROSPERO number CRD42021262318. Results: The search revealed a total of 143 papers divided as follows: PubMed- 65 papers, CINAHL 25 papers and Cochrane 53 papers. In addition, references of included studies were scanned manually for potential papers and another 46 papers extracted. A total of 133 papers were chosen for detailed extraction following removal of 10 duplicate studies. Conclusion: Results of this review revealed that the interventions that have been used to enhance the use of evidence for decision making are majorly educational. A few interventions have taken the form of modelling, guidelines and programming. Online solutions have also been seen to enhance the use of evidence for clinical practice of nurses.
