Understanding Nursing Knowledge of Continence Care and Bladder Scanner Use in Long-Term Care: An Evaluation Study.
Article in Gerontology & geriatric medicine. 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
Because urinary continence is an essential indicator for quality of life for older adults in long-term care, it is important to accurately assess and treat those at risk for incontinence. This evaluation study was to increase understanding of the issues related to the implementation of bladder scanners while exploring nursing staff knowledge about continence care of older adults in long-term care settings. Using a mixed-methods design, nursing care staff (RN, LPN, Care Aide) at six long-term care homes completed a bladder care knowledge survey and participated in focus group discussions to explore continence care knowledge and use of bladder scanners to manage continence issues. Twenty-eight nursing care staff participated; findings showed continence care knowledge varied by profession, and the use of portable bladder scanners is affected by knowledge, training, and scopes of practice. Going forward, exploring scopes of practice and education are needed for effective assessment, management, and treatment of continence.
