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

backgroundGiven the nature of the health profession, medical errors are considered a common problem. Nursing students are inevitably likely to make medical errors due to the lack of adequate and safe learning environments during their clinical practice.

aimWe aimed to investigate the relationship between the tendency to make medical errors and the level of mindfulness of senior nursing students.

methodsData were collected using the Malpractice Trend Scale (MTS) and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). This study was reported following STROBE.

resultsThe students' MAAS total score mean was 62.96 ± 1.64. The MTS total score mean was 79.91 ± 1.25. According to Pearson correlation analysis, there was a weak, positive (r = 0.194) and statistically insignificant (p > 0.05) relationship between the total scores of MTS and MAAS.

conclusionsIt was concluded that as the students' mindfulness levels increase, their tendency to make medical error decreases, but this result is not statistically significant.
