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

backgroundCurrent information systems do not effectively support nurse managers' duties, such as reporting, resource management, and assessing clinical performance. Few performance management information systems are available and features in many are scattered.

objectivesThe purpose of the study was to determine nurse managers' opinions of information system support for performance management.

methodsAn online questionnaire was used to collect data from nurse managers (

resultsMore than half of the managers used performance management systems daily. Managers (60%) felt that they can use information systems to follow the use of physical resources, and in general (63%), they felt that it is easy to perform searches with the systems used for following up activity. Nurse managers' ability to manage resources, to report productivity, and to assess nursing care performance were correlated significantly with each other.

conclusionCurrently, managers have to collect data from various systems for management purposes, as system integration does not support performance data collection. The availability of continuous in-service training had a positive effect on information system use.
