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: The role of nurse-surgeons has recently emerged to meet patient and health system surgical demands. However, methods of nurse-surgeon training and education requirements are unclear. Objective: To identify and describe the current methods of nurse-surgeon training and education worldwide. Design: Systematic review. Method: An electronic search was conducted using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Cochrane Library, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Public Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, and Google Scholar databases. Key words included nurse-surgeon, training, education, and perioperative. Following screening for inclusion, a mixed methods critical appraisal tool was used to ascertain methodological rigour and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations framework to assess confidence in the evidence. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses flow diagram and checklist for reporting systematic reviews were used. Results: A total of 18 studies was included in this review. Current methods of nurse-surgeon training were identified as surgical speciality specific ( Conclusions: Current methods of nurse-surgeon training have been identified to be specific to speciality areas. Overall, training has required nurse-surgeons to undergo andragogical education in theory, supervision in practice by a surgeon and assessment of competency. An implication for practice is a streamlined nursing pathway to surgical residency training which would improve global surgical health outcomes and retain young perioperative nurses.
