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

aimThis study explores the contributions of family practice nurses in primary care across Newfoundland and Labrador funded by fee-for-service and alternate payment plans to examine the influence of funding arrangements on nursing roles/activities.

designA qualitative descriptive design was employed.

methodsSemi-structured telephone interviews were conducted between March-July 2018 with physicians and Registered Nurses working in primary care settings in Newfoundland and Labrador. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and a content analysis approach was used to identify recurring themes.

resultsClinic funding was instrumental in the integration of family practice nurses into primary care settings and influenced roles/activities. In fee-for-service practices, nurses work with physicians and focus on one-on-one patient care in office-based settings, whereas nurses in alternate payment plans practices work more independently, in a wider range of settings and with emphasis on both individual and group-based encounters. Compared with alternate payment plans practices, fee-for-service practices tend to be more restrictive due to physician billing requirements.
