Emergency trauma care during the COVID-19 pandemic: A phenomenological study of nurses' experiences.
Article in International emergency nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore nurses' experiences in delivering emergency trauma care during the COVID-19 pandemic at a level I trauma centre in Saudi Arabia.
methodsA qualitative, descriptive phenomenological design was utilised, in which face-to-face, unstructured interviews were carried out with emergency and trauma nurses at a level I trauma centre in Saudi Arabia. The study included nine registered emergency and trauma nurses who were interviewed twice from February to April 2021. The collected data were analysed using Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenological method.
resultsThe analysis of the data revealed an overarching theme that was about the inevitable change on the ground due to the pandemic and two primary themes, each containing two subthemes: 1 dealing with an interrupted path of care; 1.1 experiencing additional complexity; 1.2 encountering extra demands; 2 optimising the path of care; 2.1 modifying the steps; and 2.2 transforming the system.
conclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic imposed change on how trauma patients would be handled and treated. Nurses took an active and critical role in creating another form of change, which helped optimise the path of trauma care and accommodate urgent treatment needs of the injured patients.
