Eye tracking during a simulated start of shift safety check: An observational analysis of gaze behavior of critical care nurses.
Article in Journal of the Intensive Care Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The handover and associated shift start checks by nurses of critical care patients are complex and prone to errors. However, which aspects lead to errors remains unknown. Fewer errors might occur in a structured approach. We hypothesized that specific gaze behavior during handover and shift start safety check correlates with error recognition. Methods: In our observational eye tracking study, we analyzed gaze behavior of critical care nurses during handover and shift start safety check in a simulation room with built-in errors. Four areas of interest (AOI) were pre-defined (patient, respirator, prescriptions, monitor). The primary outcome were different gaze metrics (time to first fixation, revisits, first visual intake duration, average visual intake duration, dwell time) on AOIs. Parameters were analyzed by taking all errors in account, and by dividing them into minor and critical. Results: Forty-three participants were included. All participants committed at least a minor error ( Conclusion: Error detection during shift start safety check was associated with distinct gaze behavior. Nurses who recognized more errors had a shorter time to first fixation and less revisits. These gaze characteristics might correspond to a more structured approach. Further research is necessary, for example by implementing a checklist, to reduce errors in the future and improve patient safety.
