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

objectiveEntrustable professional activities (EPAs) is a newly emerging concept. This paper aims at analyzing the concept of "EPAs" to clarify the meaning and to identify its components for optimum understanding of the concept for use in nursing education and future research.

methodThree databases - ProQuest, Ovid, and PubMed- were retrieved, and Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to analyze the concept of EPAs.

resultsBased on the analysis, three attributes of EPAs were defined, namely 1) EPAs should be restricted to a limited number of tasks; 2)reflect the experience curve; and 3) include acceptance of responsibility and accountability. The antecedent of EPAs is a holistic and integrated assessment approach. This will eventually lead to anticipated consequences such as a mastery of core competencies and an increase in the level of autonomy.

conclusionThe study may contribute to a reduction in the ambiguity of this concept to better apply it in nursing practice.
