The physician-nurse collaboration in truth disclosure: from nurses' perspective.
Article in BMC nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundCollaboration between physicians and nurses is critical. However, a limited number of studies have provided insights into the status of physician-nurse collaboration in truth disclosure.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted using an electronic questionnaire among Chinese nurses who attended a provincial conference. The Nurse-Physician Collaboration Scale was administered to nurses to assess the collaboration in truth disclosure from their perspective. A multiple-choice question was asked to assess the perceived difficulties in truth disclosure. Descriptive statistics, univariate, and multiple stepwise regression analyses were performed to evaluate physician-nurse collaboration in truth disclosure.
resultsA total of 287 nurses completed the survey, and 279 of them reported that they had carried out truth disclosures among patients. The average score for physician-nurse collaboration in truth disclosure was 3.98 ± 0.72. The majority of nurses (73.1-81%) responded positively to different dimensions of collaboration in truth disclosure. The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that seniority (B = - 0.111, 95% confidence interval [CI] = - 0.167-- 0.055, p < 0.001) and frequency of truth disclosure (B = 0.162, 95%CI = 0.076-0.249, p < 0.001) were the only two factors associated with collaboration in truth disclosure between physicians and nurses. The most common barrier perceived by nurses was fear of patients' negative emotions or their suicide attempts after truth telling.
conclusionsMost nurses responded positively to physician-nurse collaboration in truth disclosure. Various difficulties existed in the practice of truth-telling collaboration. Further studies are required to test the potential interventions to promote cooperation between nurses and physicians in truth disclosure.
