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

aimsA discussion of the implications and opportunities arising from the Commonwealth of Australia health care reform agenda; linking pricing with quality, with particular reference to directions for nursing-focused health services outcomes research directed to improve the safety and quality of health care practices.

backgroundNational activity-based funding in Australia is a policy-focused development. As the relationship between cost and quality becomes apparent, the role of clinicians and their contribution to high quality care has become a pressing issue for leadership, teaching, and research.

designDiscussion paper DATA SOURCES: This paper is based on seven years' experience as a member of a Commonwealth of Australia statutory committee-the Clinical Advisory Committee of the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority-and is supported by relevant literature and theory. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: To date, unravelling the linkage, especially causal relationships, between direct care nursing and patient safety outcomes has not been well established. New activity-based funding data elements developed for national implementation in Australia provide accessible and meaningful standardised data for measurement of never events, hospital-acquired complications, and preventable readmissions.
