Quality improvement and rapid PDSA cycles to maintain routine surveillance of pulmonary pathogens during the COVID-19 pandemic in a pediatric cystic fibrosis clinic.
Article in Journal of pediatric nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic necessitated immediate transition from in person to telehealth encounters; novel nursing practices were needed to ensure that children with cystic fibrosis (CF) receive care that approximates evidence-based guidelines. LOCAL PROBLEM: The aim was to ensure that as many children as possible received routine surveillance of pulmonary pathogens by a CF culture sputum culture during a pandemic.
methodsMultiple Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were utilized to implement practice change over four months.
interventionsCultures were obtained via curbside appointment with a registered nurse (RN) or at the patients' home with mailed equipment.
results133 cultures obtained: 50.37% (67) by RN collection curbside and 49.62% (66) by self/caregiver at home. 120 culture swabs or sterile cups were mailed; 55% (66) were returned. Cost of mailing equipment was $760.16.
conclusionNursing utilization of PDSA cycles developed novel processes that ensured guideline-based care during the initial months of the pandemic.
