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

Objective: To analyze a community of practice, the Global Alliance for Nursing and Midwifery (GANM), and illustrate the evolution and sustainability of a virtual community of practice aimed at enhancing knowledge acquisition and dissemination. Methods: Retrospective content analysis of data gathered from the online tracking of GANM's community activities, engagement data, and platform logistics was conducted and analyzed. Results: The GANM hosts a diverse community of over 4 300 members from 160 countries. Members benefit from opportunities for knowledge sharing, access to evidence-based tools and materials, and the ability to engage in a creative space for asking questions, discussing current issues, networking, and forming collaborative professional relationships. The discussion forum is frequently used for disseminating new information about evidence-based practice and announcing educational opportunities. Conclusions: Through a wide variety of activities, the GANM engages a diverse community and provides an opportunity for nurses, midwives, and allied healthcare professionals around the world to network, engage in discussions, and build collective knowledge. The development of future communities of practice can be guided by existing evidence and the GANM's collective experiences, to maintain and enhance community engagement and prevent dormancy.
