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

There is currently no structured system for nurses or allied health professionals to undertake further training to become a nurse specialist (NSp) or nurse practitioner (NP) in rheumatology on-site, while working in a district general hospital setting. These shortcomings have prompted us to develop a structured pathway that could be followed by staff nurses who wish to become NSp in rheumatology. The proposed pathway aims to assist the nurses or therapists (physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapist, podiatrists, etc.) to develop a sound knowledge based on the rationale, safety, and high quality clinical care when monitoring of patients taking disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to ensure they acquire skills enabling them to provide safe, evidence-based effective patient-centered care. Near the end of the pathway, the trainee would be expected to have an understanding of the particularities of chronic arthritis conditions as well as screening, assessment, and monitoring of patients receiving DMARDs and biological agents. Tests for competencies are included and certification may be considered.
