Spring-infusors: How a simple and small solution can create king-sized complexity.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. 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
aimThe aims of the study were to investigate family and hospital staff views about the use of spring-infusor devices for administration of intravenous antibiotic medications, to examine if the device is acceptable and feasible and to map a process for implementation.
designA qualitative study with a pragmatist approach, within a larger, mixed methods knowledge translation study.
methodsData were collected by semi-structured interviews with patients who have cystic fibrosis and their parents and focus groups and interviews with hospital staff. Interviews were concluded when no new themes were identified. Thematic analysis and process mapping was undertaken.
resultsSix parents, nine children and 30 staff were interviewed. Families preferred spring-infusors. Staff knowledge, experience and attitudes toward spring-infusor use was varied. All staff acknowledged that their role is to support patient-centred care. Spring-infusors are preferred by families and clinicians above other IV administration devices but misconceptions about spring-infusor use and numerous procedural challenges reduced their use.
