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

backgroundThe improvement of patient safety conditions in the framework of clinical service governance is one of the most important concerns worldwide. The importance of this issue and its effects on the health of patients encouraged the researcher to conduct this study to evaluate patient safety management in the framework of clinical governance according to the nurses working in the intensive care units (ICUs) of the hospitals of the east of Tehran, Iran in 2012. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis descriptive study, which was based on census method, was conducted on 250 nurses sampled from the hospitals located in the east of Tehran. For the collection of data, a researcher-made questionnaire in five categories, including culture, leadership, training, environment, and technology, as well as on safety items was used. To test the validity of the questionnaire, content validity test was conducted, and the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by retest method, in which the value of alpha was equal to 91%.

resultsThe results showed that safety culture was at a high level in 55% of cases, safety leadership was at a high level in 40% cases and at a low level in 2.04% cases, safety training was at a high level in 64.8% cases and at a low level in 4% cases, safety of environment and technology was at a high level in 56.8% cases and at a low level in 1.6% cases, and safety items of the patients in their reports were at a high level in approximately 44% cases and at a low level in 6.5% cases. The results of Student's t-test (P < 0.001) showed that the average score of all safety categories of the patients was significantly higher than the average points.

conclusionsDiligence of the management and personnel of the hospital is necessary for the improvement of safety management. For this purpose, the management of hospitals can show interest in safety, develop an events reporting system, enhance teamwork, and implement clinical governance plans.
