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

aimTo identify the risk of missed nursing care (MNC), and contributing factors, in Chinese hospitals.

backgroundNational reporting of adverse incidents diminishes errors of commission. To further improve service quality and patient safety, MNC should be reduced.

methodsAn online survey comprising the MISSCARE Survey and the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale was conducted with a convenience sample of nurses (n = 6,158) in 34 Chinese hospitals.

resultsParticipants' mean age was 30.6 (SD = 7.014), and 2.5% were male. The most frequently missed nursing care items were basic care (12.7%-51.8%). The most frequently reported reasons were human resource issues (63.1%-88.2%). Being female, no child, better educated, a manager, permanently employed, no night shift, inadequate friend support and job dissatisfaction influenced the perception of MNC (odds ratio 1.00-4.848).

conclusionsMNC often occurred in basic care involving informal caregivers or in surge status due to a sudden increase in workload. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers should prioritize effective measures that target delegation competency and mobilization of nurses for flexible repositioning during need.
