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

backgroundProviding care for adolescents living with intellectual disabilities (ALWIDs) within healthcare settings is a complex challenge. These adolescents require an environment that is specialised and conducive to their health, alongside tailored care, treatment and rehabilitation services. Nurse managers play a crucial role in supporting these adolescents, particularly given the difficulties parents face in meeting their unique needs.

objectivesThis study aims to explore nurse managers' perspectives on the creation of a healthy environment for ALWIDs in health facilities.

methodAn explorative qualitative study design was conducted. A purposive sampling method was used to select 13 nurse managers from three institutions relevant to the study's interests. Nurse managers with over 2 years of direct experience in the care, treatment and rehabilitation of ALWIDs were eligible to participate in the study. Selecting these nurse managers ensured the study captured their firsthand experiences and expertise in managing nursing services. Data were collected through face-to-face and telephonic semi-structured interviews, recorded digitally. Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis was used for data analysis.

resultsA safe environment; multi-disciplinary team involvement; competent and adequate staff and a conducive physical environment for structural support are beneficial for ALWIDs.

conclusionTo promote the well-being of ALWIDs, it is essential to establish a spacious and safe environment equipped with sufficient material and non-material resources. Engaging a multi-disciplinary team is vital for addressing their diverse needs.Contribution: This study provided information on what constitutes a healthy environment for ALWIDs to inform clinical practice, nursing education, policy makers and research.
