Critical care nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding hypothermia management during continuous renal replacement therapy: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. 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
backgroundHypothermia is a relatively common complication during CRR and affects patients’ decisions of clinical management, ICU length of stay, and clinical outcomes. It is important for critical care nurses to understand hypothermia during CRRT and implement management to prevent it.
methodsA multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted in 13 hospitals in Guangdong province, China, from June to July 2024. A self-made structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test T-tests, multiple linear regression, and Spearman correlation coefficient tests were employed.
resultsA total of 741 eligible questionnaires were received for data analysis. The median scores of knowledge were 9.0 (IQR: 8.0–10.0), with mean scores of 8.6 and scoring rate of 66.2%; The median scores of attitude were 25.0 (IQR: 24.0–25.0), with mean scores of 23.9 and scoring rate of 95.6%; The median scores of practice were 48.0 (IQR: 44.0–53.0) with mean scores of 48.0 and scoring rate of 80.0%. There was a positive and significant relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that education level and head nurse independently affected the knowledge; marital status independently affected the attitude; ICU working years, education level, technical title and casual/contracted type independently affected the practice.
conclusionsIn the study, critical care nurses generally have inadequate knowledge, positive attitude and good practice regarding hypothermia management during CRRT. There is room for improvement in knowledge and practice compared to attitude.
