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

objectivesThis study aims to present a preliminary exploration of an orthopedic nurse specialist training program in Hunan Province, China, and to explore the effectiveness of training.

methodsThe training programme consisted of one month of theoretical training and two months of clinical practice training. The training content was set around four modules: theoretical knowledge, professional skills, comprehensive practice, and professional development. The application effect of the curriculum was examined via a nonrandomized controlled experimental study. From December 2022 to December 2023, a total of 102 orthopedic specialist nurses from the selected training bases were trained, and we evaluated the effectiveness of the training by using the reaction, learning, behavioral, and results layers of Kirkpatrick Training Evaluation model. Before and after the training, the core competencies of the training participants were evaluated via the Core Competencies Questionnaire for Orthopedic Nurse Specialists, and paired t tests were used to compare the core competencies before and after the training.

resultsIn total, 102 trainees in Hunan Province participated in the training program. The final score of the training trainees was 89.01 ± 2.16. All trainees passed theoretical and clinical practice examinations and trainee evaluations. Their core competencies significantly improved after training (P < 0.001). The overall satisfaction rate of the trainees with the theoretical and practical courses was 100%.

conclusionThe orthopedic nurse specialist training program demonstrated science and effectiveness and improved the core competencies of nurses in providing orthopedic specialist care. The curriculum system is comprehensive and reliable and can be used as a reference for training orthopedic specialty nurses.
