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

objectiveThis study aimed to describe construction and content validation of the Brazilian Questionnaire of Competencies of Oncology Nurses.

methodsThe methodological research was constructed based on the literature and observation in Brazilian hospitals searching to identify local evidence in the nursing practice. After, the construction of the 30 items distributed in eight sub-dimensions of competencies, the instrument was tested the content validation by 7 experts and 61 oncology nurses. Item responses were analyzed through content validity index and Cronbach's α were used in this test pilot.

resultsThe content validity index of the scale was 0.90, and the content validity index of each item was 0.80-1.00. The mean of items varied between 4.98 (standard deviation = 0.13) and 4.70 (standard deviation = 0.53). The Cronbach's α of the instrument was 0.77. The Cronbach's α if each item was excluded ranged from 0.78 to 0.74, indicating consistency between items.

conclusionThe instrument is concise and clear, resulting in a valid content on test pilot in conducting a self-assessment the oncology nurses. It can be used to facilitate decision-making by identifying sub-dimensions that require attention in nursing education to improve patient care.
