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
purposeThe study aims to describe Swedish RNs' experiences of acute assessments at home. More patients with complex nursing needs are cared for at home due to an ageing population. Registered nurses (RNs) who work with home healthcare need a broad medical competence and clinical experience alongside adapted decision support systems for maintaining patient safety in acute assessments within home healthcare.
methodsA content analysis of qualitative survey data from RNs (
resultsThere were challenges in the acute assessments at home due to a lack of competence since several of the RNs did not have much experience working as an RN in home healthcare. Important information was missing about the patients, such as access to medical records due to organizational challenges and limited access to equipment and materials. The RNs needed support in the form of cooperation with a physician, support from colleagues, and a decision support system.
conclusionTo increase the possibility of patient-safe assessments at home, skills development, collegial support, and an adapted decision support system are needed. Collaboration with primary healthcare, on-call physicians, and nursing staff, and having the opportunity to consult with someone also provide security in acute assessments.
