Implementing an Online Instrument to Measure Nurse Practitioner Workload: A Feasibility Study.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
INTRODUCTION/
objectivesNurse practitioners (NPs) improve access to care in community-based primary care. Determining an appropriate workload for NPs is complex. The number of patients seen by NPs represents an important consideration. We sought to determine the feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of implementing the online NP workload measurement index (NP-WI).
methodsFeasibility study supported by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability, conducted across 3 health regions in Québec, Canada. Data were collected from January to July 2024 using the online NP-WI (
resultsNPs indicated that the NP-WI was easy to use. Acceptability scores were positively rated. Daily data entry took 5 to 7 min to complete. NPs deemed a 4-week collection period sufficient to capture a representative workload sample. The NP-WI captured patient, provider and organizational characteristics and the number of patients seen by NPs.
conclusionsNP-WI implementation was feasible. The instrument can support healthcare workforce planning with more adequate estimations of NP workload in community-based primary care, and provide greater equity in resource allocation and distribution of NP workload.
