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

backgroundWhen the workload for critical care nurses becomes too high, this can have consequences for both personal health as well as patient care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, critical care nurses were confronted with new and dynamic changes.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the experiences of critical care nurses regarding the ad hoc measures taken and the perceived physical and psychological burden experienced during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted at two hospitals using an online survey. The open questions addressing the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic were subjected to content analysis according to Mayring.

resultsA total of 179 critical care nurses participated in the online survey. From the results, the following four categories were developed: "not meeting one's own quality of care requirements," "uncertainties in everyday professional and private life," "increased responsibility with lack of relief," and "insufficient coping strategies for physical and psychological burden."

conclusionCritical care nurses require structures and processes which support them in situations of high workload. The focus should be on the self-imposed requirements of quality of care as well as potentially relieving measures.
