Effectiveness and Health Outcomes of Collaborative Nurse Prescribing for Patients Anticoagulated with Antivitamin K in Primary Care: A Study Protocol.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The development of collaborative nurse prescribing (NP) in Andalusia (Spain) in 2018 gives us the opportunity to measure the impact of this practice. Scientific evidence indicates that prescribing is not more costly when performed by nurses and, in fact, is more economical in some cases. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of NP on the effectiveness, health outcomes and adverse events related to prescribing including in the follow-up of patients treated with antivitamin K oral anticoagulants in primary care (PC) by nurses. The design is a randomized clinical trial. The population comprises 1208 anticoagulated patients in 2019. The sample size calculation considers an alpha error of 0.05, a power of 99% and an effect size of 0.5, resulting in 127 users per group. Therefore, a total sample of 254 participants is needed. However, as the project intends to treat patients it will include the universal sample that meets the criteria in the two health centers participating in the study, with 575 participants in total. Data collection was carried out in the PC District of the Alamillo-San Jerónimo Clinical Management Unit of Sevilla for one year from January 2020. Data analysis is performed using the SPSS Statistics 25 package. We intend to study if nurse collaborative prescription in the follow-up and management of patients taking antivitamin K oral anticoagulants in PC is as effective as the traditional approach to follow-ups carried out by a family physician.
