Undertaking qualitative reviews in nursing and education - A method of thematic analysis for students and clinicians.
Review in International journal of nursing studies advances, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objectives: To develop a simplified but rigorous method for qualitative reviews using thematic analysis, suitable for students and clinicians. Design: Methodological review. Data sources: Cochrane and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methods, key references from these, and important original methodologies. Review methods: Examining similarities and differences between methods, and how key features can be combined. Results: Features of the JBI method, meta-ethnography, meta-study, and thematic-analysis were combined. This results in a method that uses codes from the original paper that are combined into themes. Themes reflect patterns in the data, most notably similarity and differences between codes; but also a line of argument. Where codes and themes are nested, the relationship between them should be shown in a hierarchical tree. There is also explicit consideration of the methods, theory, and assumptions behind each of the included papers. The quality of the underlying studies, body of evidence, and confidence in findings should be assessed using the tools described; and these used to develop transparent findings. Conclusions: This is one method by which systematic reviews can be undertaken by students and clinicians.
