Knowledge, attitude, and practice of intensive care nurses toward delirium: a multicenter cross-section study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: Delirium is a common and serious complication among patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Nurses have an essential role in dealing with delirium in critical illness. However, understanding of ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP)on delirium is limited, and large-scale survey lacking. Objectives: To explore the status and related factors of KAP of delirium among critical care nurses in China. Methods: From February to May 2019, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3,199 intensive care nurses from 160 hospitals across China using a convenience sampling approach. An online questionnaire was designed and distributed to evaluate the KAP of nurses. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to assess the factors that influenced ICU nurses' KAP. Results: A total of 3,199 valid questionnaires were collected. Overall, the scores of ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding delirium assessment were 38.00 (33.00, 44.00), 23.00 (19.00, 26.00), and 16.00 (12.00, 19.00), respectively. Among the respondents, the proportions of individuals providing positive responses regarding their knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 48.59%, 58.27%, and 40.52%, respectively. The attitude scores of the nurses were significantly related to knowledge scores ( Conclusion: The knowledge of delirium among ICU nurses is at a moderate level. While these nurses exhibit a positive attitude toward this issue, their actual practices tend to reflect a relatively negative approach. Managers and nursing researchers should develop and offer standardized training for critical care nurses to improve their KAP toward delirium in critically ill patients.
