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

aimTo develop a conceptual framework for nurses' protocol-based care decision-making.

designMiles & Huberman's bottom-up approach to developing conceptual frameworks was followed, using data collected from a multiple embedded case study examining protocol-based decision-making by nurses in three hospital wards within a university hospital in northern Spain.

methodsThe qualitative data from the case study, obtained through documentary analysis, observations, and interviews, underwent a secondary analysis consisting of four steps: data reduction, data display, comparison, and drawing conclusions.

resultsThe framework for protocol-based care decision-making comprises four components: (1) protocol-based care, as a balance between standardisation and individualised care, (2) the process, (3) the context, and (4) the elements of protocol-based care decision-making. These components and their relationship as a context-dependent, linear, variable and multifactorial process, directly influenced by the perception of risk, are described and illustrated.

conclusionsThis study provides a rigorous bottom-up framework for nurses' protocol-based care decision-making. The framework could be a valuable resource for managers, clinical nurses, educators, and researchers to guide and evaluate nurses' decision-making, leading to improved care quality and reduced variability in clinical practice. Furthermore, the framework lays a foundation for further research and practical applications. IMPACT: This study addressed the problem of understanding nurses' protocol-based care decision-making and the need for a specific conceptual framework. The main findings of the study contribute to the development of a rigorous bottom-up framework comprising four components of protocol-based care decision-making. The framework has the potential to improve care quality, reduce variability, enhance patient safety, and increase healthcare efficiency by guiding nurses' decision-making in various healthcare settings. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patient or public contribution was not applicable since the study focused on nurses' decision making.
