From knowledge to practice, intensive care nurses' pain management behaviors in Turkey: a cross sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to examine the knowledge and behaviours of the intensive care nurses about pain.
methodsThis descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 72 intensive care nurses. 'Nurse Information Form', 'Nurses Knowledge and Behavioral Questionnaire' were used for data collection. The data collection process was conducted face-to-face by the researchers. Descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U Test analysis were used in the analysis of the data.
resultsIt was determined that 62.5% of the intensive care nurses participating in our study were 30 years old or younger. 100% of the nurses participating in the study used a scale in assessing pain, but only 21.6% of the nurses used the behavioral pain scale. It was determined that the level of knowledge of the nurses about pain was moderate. It was determined that there was a significant difference between the gender, nurses pain-related training status, education level and Nurses Pain-Related Knowledge and Behavior Questionnaire scores.
conclusionIt was determined that the knowledge level of the nurses working in the intensive care unit was moderate and very few of the nurses used the behavioral pain scale for non-communicative patients. This finding highlights the need to increase evidence-based training for nurses and to promote the use of behavioral pain scales, particularly in non-communicative patients. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
