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

aimThe aim of this study was to understand how new graduate nurses experience communication with physicians.

backgroundCommunication is necessary for high-quality health care delivery. With poor patient outcomes as a driving force, knowledge of the dialogue that occurs between new graduate nurses and physicians has been rarely explored.

methodsThis qualitative descriptive study involved 13 new graduate nurses from an academic teaching hospital in the south-eastern United States. Data for this study were collected using face-to-face and virtual interviews with a focus on having nurses describe their experience communication with physicians in their current practice.

resultsAnalysis led to four themes that describe new graduate nurses experience communicating with physicians. Those themes were gaps in preparation, developing confidence, learning to communicate, and interprofessional care.

conclusionsEffective communication with physicians is a stressor for new graduate nurses as they transition to practice. For these nurses, negative emotions in their anticipation of communicating with physicians were developed during their educational experience. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The findings of this study emphasize the importance of enhanced interprofessional training in education and practice that facilitate effective communication between the two professions in the practice environment.
