Delphi survey on the application of advanced practice nursing competencies: Strong points and unfinished business in cancer care.
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 4 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
aimThis study assessed the application of advanced practice nursing competencies in cancer care to identify obstacles to their full implementation.
backgroundInternationally, the implementation of advanced practice nursing roles depends on the context and environment, which shape the definition, scope and competencies associated with these roles.
methodsNurses participated in two rounds of an online Delphi survey about the competencies of advanced practice oncology nurses. The threshold for expert consensus was set at 75%.
resultsEleven competency domains were proposed; all yielded consensus of over 75%. However, for 57.8% of the specific competencies proposed in round 1 and for 62.2% in round 2, there was no consensus on which were applied in practice. There was more agreement on the competencies applied in the domains of direct clinical practice, consultation and collaboration and interprofessional relations than in dimensions such as health care promotion, quality improvement, evidence-based practice and research. Barriers related to unimplemented competencies were identified.
conclusionsThe competencies applied in advanced practice nursing reflect incomplete development of these roles. Domains related to direct clinical practice, consultation and collaboration and interprofessional relations are relatively well developed, whereas those related to leadership, research, evidence-based practice and quality improvement are not. The identified barriers hindering implementation of some competencies can inform strategies to develop this role in cancer care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Hospital administrators and nurse managers should reflect and be mindful of the development of advanced practice nurse (APN) competencies along with the challenges associated with implementing advanced practice roles.
