A Systematic Literature Review of Safety Culture in Hemodialysis Settings.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Safety culture is an important aspect of quality in healthcare settings. There are many risks that patients can encounter in hemodialysis settings one of which is the infection risks due to the regular need to access bloodstreams using catheters and needles. Implementation of prevention guidelines, protocols and strategies that reinforce safety culture excellence are essential to mitigate risks. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize the main strategies that enhance and improve patient safety culture in hemodialysis settings. Methods: Medline (via PubMed) and Scopus were searched from 2010 to 2020 in English. Terms defining safety culture, patient safety were combined with the term hemodialysis during the search. The studies were chosen based on inclusion criteria. Results: A total of 17 articles reporting on six countries were identified that met inclusion criteria following the PRISMA statement. From the 17 papers, practices that were successfully applied to improve safety culture in hemodialysis settings included (i) training of nurses on the technologies used in hemodialysis treatment, (ii) proactive risk identification tools to prevent infections (iii) root cause analysis in evaluating the errors, (iv) hemodialysis checklist to be used by the dialysis nurses to reduce the adverse events, and (v) effective communication and mutual trust between the employee and leadership to support no-blame environment, and improve the safety culture. Conclusion: This systematic review provided significant insights on the strategies that healthcare safety managers and policy makers can implement to enhance safety culture in hemodialysis settings.
