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

backgroundAntimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) have become important strategies for addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Despite the increasing number of international publications identifying the important roles played by nurses as part of ASPs in low- and middle-income countries, this topic is yet poorly researched. This study aimed to identify priority research gaps in the Brazilian context concerning nurses' performance in ASPs from the perspective of nursing professionals and explore the main themes among the ideas generated by these nurses.

methodsThis qualitative study used the modified Nominal Group Technique (mNGT) during a three-day online workshop. Content analysis was performed on the basis of the ideas proposed by the participants after the clarification stage.

resultsThe participants suggested 68 ideas in the first phase. After the idea's clarification phase, 45 ideas were included in the voting rounds. The ideas prioritized by participants voting addressed (i) attributions and competencies of nurses in the ASP; (ii) planning and implementation of ASP nurses' activities; and (iii) use of information and communication technologies to assist nurses. The content analysis highlighted nine main themes in the initial ideas.

conclusionsThe study identified significant gaps in research related to nurses' roles in ASPs in the Brazilian context. These findings suggest that further investigation into nurses' competences, the implementation of their roles, and the application of digital tools are priority subjects of future research to improve nurses' participation in ASPs. These themes should be further studied in the Brazilian context but may be applicable to other similar socioeconomic contexts.
