Informal task-sharing practices in inpatient newborn settings in a low-income setting-A task analysis approach.
Article in Nursing open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Aim: To describe the complexity and criticality of neonatal nursing tasks and existing task-sharing practices to identify tasks that might be safely shared in inpatient neonatal settings. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional study in a large geographically dispersed sample using the STROBE guidelines. Methods: We used a task analysis approach to describe the complexity/criticality of neonatal nursing tasks and to explore the nature of task sharing using data from structured, self-administered questionnaires. Data was collected between 26th April and 22nd August 2017. Results: Thirty-two facilities were surveyed between 26th April and 22nd August, 2017. Nearly half (42%, 6/14) of the "moderately critical" and "not critical" (41%, 5/11) tasks were ranked as consuming most of the nurses' time and reported as shared with mothers respectively. Most tasks were reported as shared in the public sector than in the private-not-for-profit facilities. This may largely be a response to inadequate nurse staffing, as such, there may be space for considering the future role of health care assistants.
