Association of nurse staffing grade and 30-day mortality in intensive care units among cardiovascular disease patients.
Article in Medicine, 2018. 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
After the implementation of a policy differentiating inpatient nursing fees, no study is found in the nursing literature for intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted with cardiovascular (CV) disease exclusively in Korea. This study investigates the relationship between ICU nurse staffing and 30-day mortality using large representative claim database.National Health Insurance Service-Senior (NHIS-Senior) claim database from 2002 to 2013, which was released by the Korean National Health Insurance Service (KNHIS), was used in this study. We included CV disease inpatients as a primary diagnostic code (I20-I25) who had their ICU utilization records from differentiating inpatient nursing fees code, resulting in 17,081 subjectsAfter adjusting for confounders, the hazard ratio (HR) for 30-day mortality after discharge (HR: 1.177; P: .018) and in-hospital 30-day mortality (HR: 1.145; P: .058) were higher in general hospital (GH) than in tertiary hospital (TH). In GH setting, HR for 30-day mortality after discharge (HR: 1.499; P: .010) and in-hospital 30-day mortality (HR: 1.377; P: .042) were higher in grade 7 to 9 than grade 1 to 2, but not in TH setting.This study shows that ICU nurse staffing related to improved mortality risk in GHs. Therefore, adequate nurse staffing to provide safe and high-quality care can be ensured by continuous monitoring and evaluation of nurse staffing.
