The implementation and outcomes of self-managing teams in elderly care: A scoping review.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimWe aim to map the existing evidence and gaps in research on the implementation and outcomes of self-managing elderly care teams.
backgroundDue to increasing demand for elderly nursing care and an ageing workforce, recruiting and retaining community nurses have become challenging. Implementing self-managing teams may be a solution to address this problem. EVALUATION: This scoping review included 27 studies, varying from narrative reviews to a quantitative cross-sectional study. The studies' primary focus on self-managing teams was essential for eligibility. KEY ISSUES: Nurses' job satisfaction was high in self-managing teams due to improved relationships with patients and increased autonomy. Continuity of care and patient acceptability were high. Transformation of managers to coaches in a team with a flat hierarchy is needed to empower nurses with responsibility for their own work. Trust and teamwork should be assisted by suitable ICT support systems.
conclusionsInternational interest in self-managing teams is large, but quantitative research is limited and guidelines for implementation are needed. Recommendations for potential successful implementation were made. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse autonomy and job satisfaction can increase by implementing self-managing teams. This requires a change in management styles, from managing to coaching nurses.
