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

Texting is ubiquitous with a text frequency of 145 billion/day worldwide. This paper provides partial results of the national demonstration project called the Missouri Quality Improvement Initiative (MOQI). MOQI goals were to reduce avoidable hospitalizations using APRNs to infuse evidence-based practices, model appropriate decisions and improve communication among workers responsible for nursing home resident care. This is a retrospective content analysis of text messages sent and received via a secure, password protected, encrypted mobile text message platform called Mediprocity. Text messages were created by 15 APRNs and a PhD-RN project supervisor working in 16 nursing homes over 6 months (January 1-June 30 2018). During the 6 months of data collection 8,946 text messages were captured, coded and analyzed. Data included 1,018 sent messages and 7,928 received messages. The most common messages sent (n=324) and received (n=2319) were about patient updates. The second most common texts included messages confirming information (n=1312).
