Effectiveness of an educational module on nurses' performance regarding safe administration and adverse effects of neuromuscular blocking agents in critically ill patients.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundInadequate nurse's knowledge and poor skills regarding neuromuscular blocking agents lead to harm administration and associated with adverse effects and negative outcomes. Addressing these deficiencies through targeted education and training programs is essential for enhancing patient safety and improving healthcare outcomes.
aimto assess effectiveness of an educational module on nurses' performance regarding safe administration and adverse effects of neuromuscular blocking agents in critically ill patients.
designA quasi-experimental design was used.
settingThe study was conducted at intensive care units affiliated to Medical Ain-Shams university hospital. SUBJECTS: A purposive sample of nurses (80) was working in previously mentioned setting. DATA COLLECTION TOOLS: Nurses' knowledge questionnaire and nurses' practices observational checklist, and nurses reported adverse effect.
resultsthe present study revealed that, there were improvement of the studied nurses' satisfactory level of knowledge regarding administration of neuromuscular blocking agents, clinical practice guideline recommendation, the studied nurses' competent level of practice, and reported adverse effect from (11.6, 8.4, 6.3, 8.3, and 7.5%) at pre-implementation to (88.4, 91.6, 93.7, 91.7 and 97.5%) at post-implementation phase, respectively, with a highly statistically significant differences between pre/post at P < 0.001.
conclusionThe implementing educational module had positive large effect size on nurses' performance (Knowledge and practice) regarding safe administration, recognize and manage the potential adverse effects of neuromuscular blocking agents in critically ill patients throughout pre/post phases of the study at η2 = 0. 729 and 0.833. RECOMMENDATIONS: Study the effectiveness of simulation, virtual reality, and AI-based tools in improving NMBA-related nursing competencies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
