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 outlook of administrative staff and registered nurses (RNs) plays a critical role in the management of nursing homes. No previous study has compared the outcomes of nursing homes with RNs on staff with those of nursing homes without RNs on staff in Korea. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between nurse-led nursing homes, staff turnover, and resident outcomes in nursing homes in Korea.

methodsUsing a cross-sectional design, 36 nursing homes with 30 or more beds participated. Primary data included 15 quality indicators.

resultsNursing homes with RNs had statistically significant better resident outcomes. RN turnover related positively to the prevalence of falls ( β = 1.68, p < .05) and tube feeding (β = 1.71, p < .01) and negatively to incontinence (β = -1.53, p < .01). Nursing homes with RNs with tenures greater than 1 year had statistically significant lower prevalence of falls (β = -0.47, p < .05), incontinence (β = -0.45, p < .05), weight loss (β = -0.53 p < .05), and bed rest (β = -0.54, p < .01) and increased range of motion (β = 0.51, p < .05). Interestingly, having a nurse as a director for more than 1 year related negatively to the incidence of urinary tract infection (β = -0.56, p < .05) in residents. The rate of RN turnover was found to impact fall prevalence (β = 1.68, p < .05) and tube feeding (β = 1.71, p < .01) positively and to impact incontinence (β = -1.53, p < .01) negatively.

conclusionsTurnover of nursing home staff and length of tenure may contribute to the more effective management of nursing homes, higher-quality long-term care insurance, and RN-staffing-related laws. Assessing staff characteristics and the tenure of employees promotes the effective management of nursing homes.
