General practice nursing: the views and experience of practice nurses and GPs in one county.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSlaintecare, the Irish government's plan for the coming decade, relies heavily on integrated, team-based care in the community to achieve its goals. General practice nursing is a key component of that care, both now and in the future, but little is known about the experience and views of those providing this service. This preliminary study is part of a wider national project on teamworking in primary care.
aimTo document the experiences and views of practice nurses (PNs) and general practices in a single county of Ireland, in relation to current and future roles.
methodConfidential questionnaires sent to all practices and all practice nurses in the county.
resultsOverall, 28/35 (80%) practices and 36/59 (61%) PNs responded; most PNs work part-time. Almost all practices have PNs; in 93% of practices, patients can see the PN without referral by the GP and there is very good concordance between practices and PNs about the wide range of tasks undertaken. Ninety-four percent of practices and 81% of PNs rated an expanded role for PNs as high or highest priority; barriers identified by both groups were financial and indemnity issues.
conclusionPractice nursing contributes extensively to general practice, and an expansion of the role is advocated by PNs and practices.
