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

backgroundIntensive care medicine is one of the most resource-intensive areas of the hospital. As a result, nurses have a crucial role to play in adapting processes to promote sustainability in the intensive care unit. This represents a significant contribution to creating a more climate-friendly hospital. This paper aims to provide an overview of the opportunities for nurses in the multiprofessional team to exert influence in their daily practice in order to promote sustainability on their ward.

methodsThe authors summarize further results of the online survey of the DGIIN (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Internistische Intensiv- und Notfallmedizin) sustainability working group. In addition, a systematic literature search was carried out in the PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD, USA) database and in the internet.

resultsNurses are able to identify an influence on the consumption of materials and the possibility of using them according to indication. The willingness to develop strategies and involvement in process changes are essential.

conclusionThe lack of structures that deal exclusively with sustainability and the lack of knowledge on this topic lead to a general lack of knowledge and uncertainty. This situation can be improved by targeted measures of education and training, e.g., by Green Teams.
