Application and assessment of NNN linkages in liver transplant postoperative care: a prospective study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundStandardized nursing frameworks are widely used to unify nursing practices and enhance patient outcomes, but their application in liver transplantation is still limited. This study evaluates the use of NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC linkages in the perioperative care of liver transplant recipients, aiming to inform future nursing practice improvements.
methodsThis prospective observational cohort study (December 2022-August 2023) included 44 liver transplant recipients using consecutive sampling. The Delphi method refined the NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC (NNN) linkage framework to 15 nursing diagnoses, 42 outcomes, and 106 interventions. Postoperative NOC indicators were assessed on surgery day and postoperative days 3, 7, 14, and at discharge. One-way repeated measures ANOVA, with Greenhouse-Geisser correction for sphericity violations, analyzed the indicators.
resultsTwelve nursing diagnoses had a 100% usage rate, with an average intervention usage rate of 96.59%. Nine diagnoses showed consistent improvement in NOC scores across four time points, with significant differences (P < 0.008). In contrast, five diagnoses displayed fluctuating scores, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
conclusionsThe NNN linkages effectively tracked postoperative changes and guided care for liver transplant patients. The findings support refining nursing care protocols to address fluctuating outcomes and improve patient recovery.
