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

aimThe focus of this paper is to provide a detailed ethnographic exploration of rural nurses' experiences of their resuscitation preparedness and the subsequent post-resuscitation period.

designAn ethnographic study across two small rural hospital sites in New South Wales, Australia.

methodsFieldwork was undertaken between December 2020 and March 2022 and included over 240 h of nonparticipant observation, journalling and interviews. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

resultsThe first key theme-'Sense of Preparedness'-included three subthemes: 'Gaining experience', 'Issues with training and education' and 'Lack of warning'. The second key theme 'Aftermath' comprised two subthemes: 'Getting on with it' and 'Making sense of the resus'.

conclusionThis study has highlighted the intricate relationship between resuscitative preparedness and the post-resuscitation period in shaping rural nurse's experiences and their well-being. Rural nurses are asking for an authentic and contextually relevant training experience that mirrors the unique rural challenges they experience. In the absence of frequent resuscitation presentations, the post-resuscitation period should be viewed as a crucible moment that can be leveraged as a valuable learning opportunity enhancing rural nurses' sense of preparedness and the provision of quality resuscitation care. IMPACT: Having a greater level of insight into the challenges that rural nurses experience in the pre- and post-resuscitation period is critical. This insight opens the door for fortifying policies and work processes that will better support rural nurses in the resuscitation environment. REPORTING

methodReporting complied with COREQ criteria for qualitative research. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study explored the experiences of rural nurses. No patient data were collected.
