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

backgroundIn the Federal Republic of Germany, it has been possible for some years to study (intensive) nursing care alongside further training in intensive care and anaesthesia. This results in a nursing skill-grade mix in the intensive care unit (ICU), which nursing management must consider.

objectivesThe aim is to show the development and implementation of a new nursing management structure in the ICU and also provide an overview of the parallel role development with preliminary results at a university hospital. MATERIALS AND

methodsWithin a working group of nursing management, a narrative analysis of the current situation was carried out with close involvement of the ICU ward managers and the staff units for nursing development, further education and nursing education. The content was organized into subject areas and a new management model was subsequently developed. The evaluation took place narratively within the context of employee interviews.

resultsThe management model in the ICU was divided into the areas of nursing management, nursing education, and nursing science as a management triangle. Nursing management is staffed by at least two people as ward managers and deputies, while the nursing education and science team leaders have equal decision-making powers in terms of shared governance. The respective specialist departments work together within the hospital in networks with other ICUs. Other specialist roles such as primary nurses, advanced practice nurses, heart failure nurses or practical instructors are given specific contact persons in the management team to match their tasks, which was viewed positively.

conclusionsThe development of nursing practice can be promoted through close co-operation within the management team.
