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

backgroundDiscriminative nursing care is one of the most important challenges in the field of ethical care and the rights of patients. Experiencing discrimination has negative impacts.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the process of the development of the discriminative nursing care.

methodsSampling was begun purposefully and gradually continued, according to the obtained codes and categories, using theoretical sampling until data saturation. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes. In this study, 13 clinical nurses and 5 patients in Iran were selected from public hospitals. The inclusion criteria were willingness to participate, having adequate experience about the considered phenomenon, and being able to discuss the subject. Data analysis was performed simultaneously to data collection using the method of Corbin and Strauss 2008.

resultsFive categories were extracted. The categories include: "context," "causal conditions," "phenomena," "strategies," and "outcomes." Each of these categories contained subcategories with specific characteristics. The context was classified into "nurse's characteristics" and "patient's characteristics. ""Complete conflict" and "hatred" were extracted from the category of causal conditions. The causal conditions and context led to "discriminative nursing care" phenomena. The two strategies were "avoiding the patients" and "robotic care." Outcomes were located in a spectrum ranging from "annoyance and discomfort" to "imposition of costs." Finally, the categories were connected together and the meaning of "care in the context of the sense of interaction with the patient" was theorized.

conclusionsIt is important to provide nursing education on the development of discriminative nursing care and its associated complications. Nurses should understand the nature, components, and the process of discriminative care. Understanding discrimination improves the action of nurses.
