Nurses' knowledge, perception and practice toward discharge planning in acute care settings: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Nursing open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Discharge planning (DP) guides patients' transition to out-hospital services. This systematic review investigates nurses' knowledge, perception and practices of discharge planning. Design: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Methods: Search terms were used to identify research studies published between 1990-2020 across six databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Complete Academic search, Science Direct and Google Scholar. A total of nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: Nine articles revealed nurses' knowledge, perspectives and practices of discharge planning. Obstacles included low-level knowledge of patients' activities and discharge; inability to define DP; debates over the timing of beginning, implementing and preparing discharge; patients and their family members' negative attitudes towards DP; and perceiving DP as excessive, time-consuming paperwork for which the physician is responsible. Better time management during work improves DP in acute care settings.
