Article in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: This study investigated the daily practices of community nurses working in Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs) and their learning needs. Participants and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was guided by the eight sections of the Canadian Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice 2019 expressing daily clinical activities and learning needs based on a five-point Likert scale. Participants were recruited from three Saudi Arabian cities. Descriptive data were processed regarding mean and Confidence Intervals for items, subscales, and the entire instrument. Comparisons for subgroups' mean scores were assessed using one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey HSD pairwise comparison. Results: 318 nurses participated in the study (75.5% response rate). The top practiced nursing activities were health education and supporting those who are unable to take action for themselves. On the other hand, the least practiced were participating in research invitations and research groups. Participants expressed their learning needs in utilizing health education theories and strategies and using Health informatics to support optimum nursing care. Conclusion: Saudi Arabia has a young community health nursing taskforce that needs to upgrade its knowledge and skills to match international standards. Understanding the real-life activities and learning needs of community health nurses in comparison to international standards will help health policymakers support the optimal contribution of nursing to patients outcomes and healthcare system utilization.
