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

aimsThe aim of this study was to describe similarities and differences over time in expectations held by family members of long-term critically ill patients and the nurses caring for those patients. MATERIALS: In addition to demographic data, outcome expectations of family decision makers and ICU nurses were obtained by asking each participant to indicate expectations for the patient, 6 months in the future, for survival, cognition, and functional status. Families also were asked what kind of information was most important in understanding the patient's condition and what was most important in making decisions.

methodsThis was a descriptive correlational analysis. Nurses and family members were surveyed on the 3

resultsFamily members consistently predicted better outcomes than nurses, with >80% of families predicting a high likelihood of survival, while <50% of nurses thought survival probability was high. There were similar differences in expectations for functional status and cognition. Between 14% and 23% of families indicated it was talking with the nurses that were most important.

conclusionsResults suggest a need for design and tests of nurse interventions aimed at improving family understanding of patient prognosis and future outcomes.
