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

introductionConsidering the increasing complexity of care and workload for home care nurses due to the ageing of the population, it is crucial to describe the work environment and the community care setting. The aim of this study protocol is to map the characteristics and identify gaps of home care in the community to design future interventions aimed at ensuring quality and safety. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a national cross-sectional descriptive observational study using the survey method. Nurses from all participating community care centres will be recruited through convenience sampling by the coordinators of each centre, who will act as facilitators for this study. All community care recipients and their informal carers during the study period will be invited to complete a survey.To map the characteristics and identify gaps of home care in the community, three sources of data will be collected: (1) organisational characteristics, professional satisfaction, intention to leave and burn-out; (2) experience of care recipients and their informal carers and (3) improper access to the emergency department, readmission to hospital, comorbidities, services offered and users' level of autonomy, and main and secondary diagnoses.Considering the total Italian nursing population of approximately 450 000 registered nurses, a sample size of 1% of this population, equal to approximately 4600 nurses, was hypothesised.This study started in July 2022 and is planned to end in December 2023.Data will be analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study protocol was approved by the Liguria Regional Ethics Committee in November 2022. Informed consent will be obtained from participants and confidentiality will be ensured. Data collected for this study will be kept anonymised in a protected database.The results of the study will be disseminated mainly through conferences, publications and meetings with government representatives.
