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

backgroundPatient safety culture and patient safety competency could be associated with adverse events (AEs). This study aimed to investigate the associations between nurses' perceptions of patient safety culture, patient safety competency, and AEs.

methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out among 338 nurses employed in three university hospitals in Qom, Iran between 17 August 2021 and 12 November 2021. Data were collected using three questionnaires: patient safety culture, patient safety competency, and AEs. Data were analyzed using SPSS-21 software. A multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the data.

resultsThe results of this study showed that medication errors were significantly associated with "frequency of events reported" (OR = 0.706, P = 0.012), "supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety" (OR = 0.733, P = 0.048), and "management support for patient safety" (OR = 0.755, P = 0.012). Pressure ulcers were significantly associated with "supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety" (OR = 0.729, P = 0.039), "handoffs and transition" (OR = 0.707, P = 0.034), and "comfort speaking up about patient safety" (OR = 0.614, P = 0.016). Falls were significantly associated with "teamwork within units" (OR = 0.735, P = 0.031), "feedback and communication about error" (OR = 0.756, P = 0.046), and "handoffs and transition" (OR = 0.660, P = 0.012). The use of restraints for ≥8 hr. was significantly associated with "management support for patient safety" (OR = 0.701, P = 0.021).

conclusionsAccording to the results of this study, AEs are associated with some dimensions of patient safety culture and patient safety competency. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and identify interventions to reduce the occurrence of AEs.
