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

Background: Error reporting is crucial for organisational learning and improving patient safety in hospitals, yet errors are significantly underreported. Aims: The aim of this study was to understand how the nursing team dynamics of leader inclusiveness, safety climate and psychological safety affected the willingness of hospital nurses to report errors. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional design. Self-administered surveys were used to collect data from nurses and nurse managers. Data were analysed using linear mixed models. Bootstrap confidence intervals with bias correction were used for mediation analysis. Results: Leader inclusiveness, safety climate and psychological safety significantly affected willingness to report errors. Psychological safety mediated the relationship between safety climate and error reporting as well as the relationship between leader inclusiveness and error reporting. Conclusion: The findings of the study emphasise the importance of nursing team dynamics to error reporting and suggest that psychological safety is especially important to error reporting.
