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

aimThis study aimed to determine the effect of nurses' work environment, individual and work schedule features on the rationing of nursing care.

introductionRationing of nursing care is a concern in healthcare settings worldwide, as it is associated with negative outcomes for both patients and nursing staff.

backgroundLittle is known about the precursors of rationing of nursing care in developing countries.

methodsThis descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was conducted with 405 nurses in Türkiye. Data were collected Nurse Information Form, Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care-R and Nursing Work Index-The Practice Work Environment Scale. The study was reported following the STROBE and RANCARE guideline.

resultsNurses' mean rationing of nursing care score was 1.58 ± 0.59, and the mean work environment perception score was 2.58 ± 0.47, with no statistically significant relationship between the scale scores. However, working ward, working hours and working schedule significantly affected the total rationing of nursing care scores. DISCUSSION: In this study, contrary to the literature, no relationship was found between the rationing of nursing care and the perception of the work environment. Supporting the literature, nurses' individual/work schedule features affected the rationing of nursing care.

conclusionImproving nurses' work schedule features and nurse staffing may help reduce the rationing of nursing care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: This study emphasised the importance of nurses' work schedule features and nurse staffing in the rationing of nursing care. The data from this study can guide nurse managers in identifying factors related to work schedules that may affect the rationing of nursing care and strategies to follow to make the necessary improvements.
