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

Aim: The aim was to examine the extent of missed nursing care (MNC), the reasons behind it and the contribution of nurses' job characteristics to MNC in Slovenian hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional explorative research was conducted. The BERNCA-R and part B of the MISSCARE questionnaire were used. A total of 880 nurses from 10 hospitals in Slovenia participated with completed questionnaires; of those, 57.6% were healthcare assistants and 42.4% were registered nurses. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: In the five-component solution of the MNC, the activities of 'Monitoring' (M=2.09; SD=0.909) and 'Caring, support, activation, education' (M=2.03; SD=0.822) were the most frequently missed, with the leading item being 'Conversation with a patient or their family' (M=2.45; SD=0.940). Labour resources (M=3.44; SD=0.642) were the most common reason for MNC, with inadequate number of staff (M=3.75; SD=0.660) as the leading item. The stepwise multiple regression model showed that the more significant the labour resources are, the more frequently MNC occurs in all five dimensions (p=0.000-0.002). Most job characteristics proved to be significant; however, as satisfaction with wages, years of employment and assessment of the quality of nursing care increase, MNC decreases in all five dimensions. Conclusions: This study enables healthcare decision makers and managers at the national level and in healthcare organisations to understand the problem of missed nursing care and to plan and implement changes accordingly.
