The functionality of unit practice councils and its relationship with nurses' accountability: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 aimed to examine the relationship between perceived unit practice councils' functionality and nurses' accountability in Saudi Arabia.
designA descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional design was used.
methodsConvenience sampling of 160 nurses working in multiple sites of a large, tertiary medical centre in Saudi Arabia was performed. Structured self-administered questionnaires were used to measure perceived unit practice council functionality and levels of nurse accountability.
resultsNurses perceived that unit practice councils had moderate levels of functionality; however, nurses had high levels of accountability. Also, perceived unit practice councils' functionality had a significant positive relationship with nurses' accountability (r = 0.49, p < 0.001). More studies are needed to investigate the impact of different shared governance models on nurses' work environments.
