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

backgroundThe International Resident Assessment Instrument for Long-Term Care Facilities (interRAI-LTCF) is a Web-based assessment tool designed to comprehensively assess older adults (≥65 years) living in aged residential care. In 2015 New Zealand was the first country where it was made mandatory nationwide.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to explore Registered Nurses' (RNs') experiences, feelings and attitudes towards interRAI-LTCF.

methodsTwelve interviews were conducted 18 months after interRAI-LTCF became mandatory. The interview questions were based on a United Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model. Findings were analysed thematically.

resultsThe findings reveal that RNs of all ages embrace technology, and have mostly positive attitudes towards interRAI-LTCF. Limited value, however, is seen in dementia and end-of-life care. RNs reported good experiences with trainers and venues, but inconsistency between training courses. Negative feelings towards interRAI-LTCF were caused by insufficient time to complete assessments. RNs also feel apprehensive about the Assessment & Intelligence Systems, Inc. competency tests.

conclusionsOverall RNs supported the use of interRAI-LTCF as a comprehensive assessment tool. Duplication in data entry, insufficient training, and the annual tests caused most stress and negative feelings. Recommendations were made to rectify issues.
