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

objectivePhysical restraint is frequently used in medical services, such as in mental health settings, intensive care units and nursing homes, but its nature varies in different institutions. By reviewing related literature, this study aims to clarify the concept of physical restraint in mental health nursing.

methodThree databases (PubMed, PsycINFO and CINAHL) were retrieved, and Walker and Avant's concept analysis method was used to analyze the concept of physical restraint in mental health nursing.

resultsPhysical restraint is a coercive approach that enables the administration of necessary treatment by safely reducing the patient's physical movement. It should be the last option used by qualified personnel. Antecedents of physical restraint are improper behavior (violence and disturbance) of patients, medical assessment prior to implementation and legislation governing clinical usage. Consequences of physical restraint are alleviation of conflict, physical injury, mental trauma and invisible impact on the institution. DISCUSSION: This study defined the characteristics of physical restraint in mental health nursing. The proposed concept analysis provided theoretical foundation for future studies.
