Involving carers in risk assessment: a study of a structured dialogue between mental health nurses and carers.
Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundInvolving carers is a key priority in mental health services. Carers report the sharing of service users' safety information by mental health nurses is problematic and seldom takes place.
aimsThe impact of an intervention on consensus between nurses and carers on perceptions of risk was investigated.
methodsCarer-nurse risk consensus scores were measured pre- and post-introduction of a structured dialogue (paired
resultsConsensus and perceptions regarding type and severity of risk did not change significantly for carers or nurses after engaging in a structured dialogue. Statistically significant differences were found with carers reporting higher levels of satisfaction with services in four out of six areas surveyed.
conclusionsFindings provide support for increasing carer contribution to discussions regarding risk. Further work to embed carer involvement in clinical practice is warranted.
