1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRadiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium. It can be categorized into two main types: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, depending on its ability to ionize atoms and molecules. The aim of the study to determine the efficacy of the protection motivation theory in promoting preventive behaviors among nurses were exposed to radiation at Hospitals. MATERIALS AND

methodsA randomized quasi-experimental design through using randomized controlled trial is conducted to determine the efficacy of Protection Motivation Theory Intervention in improving behaviors related to radiation protection among nurses from 20 September 2024 throughout 25 April 2025. Nurses from five radiation-exposed hospitals participated in the study in two groups, intervention and control, utilizing a pretest-posttest design (three study and two control by random allocation). The inquiry utilized the Social Science Statistical Package (SPSS) version 26 to analyses the data. The statistical methodologies employed for data analysis and outcome evaluation encompass.

resultsAccording to the results, the overall mean score of nurses' radiation protection behavior before the program was fair (3.23), improved to good (4.58) after the intervention, and remained good (4.35) in the secondary test.

conclusionThis study shown the significant impact of an educational intervention based on Protection Motivation Theory on hospital nurses' knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions concerning radiation protection.
