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

objectiveTo examine the relationships of three missed critical nursing care processes on labor and delivery units with reduced nursing time at the bedside and adequacy of unit staffing during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

designA cross-sectional survey.

settingOnline distribution from January 14 to February 26, 2021.

participantsA national convenience sample (N = 836) of registered nurses employed on labor and delivery units.

methodsWe conducted descriptive analyses on respondent characteristics and critical missed care items adapted from the Perinatal Missed Care Survey. We conducted robust logistic regression analyses to assess the relationships of three missed critical nursing care processes (surveillance of fetal well-being, excessive uterine activity, and development of new maternal complications) with reduced nursing time at the bedside and adequacy of unit staffing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

resultsLess nursing time at the bedside was associated with greater odds of missing any of the critical aspects of care, adjusted odds ratio = 1.77, 95% confidence interval [1.12, 2.80]. Adequate staffing greater than or equal to 75% of the time was associated with lower odds of missing any of the critical aspects of care compared to adequate staffing less than or equal to 50% of the time, adjusted odds ratio = 0.54, 95% confidence interval [0.36, 0.79].

conclusionPerinatal outcomes are dependent on the timely recognition of and response to abnormal maternal and fetal conditions during childbirth. In times of unexpected complexity in care and resource constraints, a focus on three critical aspects of perinatal nursing care is needed to maintain patient safety. Strategies that enable bedside presence of nurses, including maintaining adequate unit staffing, may help to mitigate missed care.
