Determinants of Medical Equipment Alarm Fatigue in Practicing Nurses: A Systematic Review.
Review in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the level of medical equipment alarm fatigue and its influencing factors among clinical nurses. Methods: PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were systematically searched to identify articles on alarm fatigue of clinical nurses published before September 25, 2022. According to the evaluation criteria of prevalence studies recommended by JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center, the quality of the literature meeting the inclusion criteria was evaluated, and Stata MP17 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 14 cross-sectional studies were included, with a total sample of 2,848 nurses. The results showed that the alarm fatigue score of clinical nurses was 21.76 (95% CI [20.27, 23.25]). Subgroup analysis showed that the nurses who worked night shift and had lower professional title had higher alarm fatigue. Conclusion: The alarm fatigue of clinical nurses was at a moderate level. To reduce the alarm fatigue level of clinical nurses, nursing managers should strengthen the alarm safety awareness of nurses, rationally arrange nurse manpower, carry out training to actively improve the alarm management ability of nurses, and optimize the alarm level and frequency of alarm equipment.
