The level of adherence to best-practice guidelines by interprofessional teams with and without acute care nurse practitioners in cardiac surgery: A study protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAcute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) in postoperative cardiac surgery settings provide significant benefits to patients and organizations. Recent studies have suggested that ACNPs increase the level of adherence to best-practice guidelines by interprofessional teams. It is however, unknown whether interprofessional teams with ACNP are associated with higher levels of adherence to best-practice guidelines compared to interprofessional teams without ACNPs. Furthermore, no extraction tool is available to measure the level of adherence to best-practice guidelines by interprofessional teams in postoperative cardiac surgery settings. This project aims to measure and examine the level of adherence to best-practice guidelines of interprofessional teams with and without ACNPs in a postoperative cardiac surgery setting in Québec, Canada.
methodsA retrospective observational study will be conducted of 300 patients hospitalized between January 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020 in a postoperative cardiac surgery unit in Québec, Canada. Data will be collected from patient health records and electronic databases. An extraction tool will be developed based on systematic review of the literature, and will include best-practice guidelines and confounding variables related to patient and interprofessional teams' characteristics. Content and criterion validation, and a pilot-test will be conducted for the development of the tool. A multivariate linear regression model will be developed and adjusted for confounding variables to examine the association between interprofessional teams with and without ACNPs, and level of adherence to best-practice guidelines by those teams. DISCUSSION: This project represents the first study to measure and examine the level of adherence to best-practice guidelines by interprofessional teams with and without ACNPs in a postoperative cardiac surgery setting. The findings of this project will generate empirical data focusing on the contribution of ACNPs within interprofessional teams, and ultimately enhance the delivery of high quality and evidence-based care for patients and families.
