Experiences of internationally educated nurses working with older adults: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundCanada, like many other jurisdictions worldwide, is facing a nursing shortage. At the same time, high-income countries are facing a rapidly ageing and more complex older adult population. Demands for more responsive health care services are driving systems of care to meet the evolving needs of the ageing population. Internationally-educated nurses (IENs) can help fill gaps in the care of older adults, but may need considerable support to work in new social and health care environments. However, the experiences of IENs within the geriatric care literature have not been comprehensively reviewed. This protocol will outline a scoping review to determine: (1) what is known about the experiences and support needs of IENs in geriatric healthcare settings within high income countries? (2) what are current supportive-pathways for IENs in geriatric practice settings? And (3) what are the research gaps in the existing literature on the experiences and support needs of IENs within the context of geriatrics?
methodsA scoping review will be conducted guided by the methodological framework set out by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and later advanced by Levac, Colquhoun and O'Brien (2010). The search strategy will be applied to seven databases (MEDLINE, PubMed (non-MEDLINE records), PsycINFO, PsychArticles, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science). Grey literature will be searched using Google search engines, targeted websites and consultation with content experts. Articles of any publication date will be included. A two-stage screening process will be conducted in duplicate (i.e., two reviewers per stage) to determine eligible articles. Data from eligible articles will be extracted using a piloted charting form. Extracted data will be analyzed using thematic and descriptive analyses. DISCUSSION: The findings of the upcoming will highlight opportunities and recommendations to inform future research and support training to support IENs working with older adults within high income countries. Publication, presentations and stakeholder meetings will disseminate our findings.
