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

AIMS AND

objectivesTo evaluate the impact of implementing a prototype of simulation-based educational technology on raising awareness among ICU nurses, improving communication in nursing handover, and promoting patient safety.

designQualitative study based on the conceptual framework of patient safety. The COREQ tool guided the presentation of the research report.

methodsThe research was conducted with 18 nurses from the ICU of a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who worked directly in nursing handover. The technology implemented was developed based on communication failures identified in a previous stage of the macro research project. This evidence supported the development of a simulated scenario of a nursing handover of a critical patient, which was recorded in audio and video. The video addressed content (absence, incompleteness and lack of ordering of information) and behavioural errors (interruptions, distractions, noise and lack of clarity) during communication between intensive care nurses. The video was implemented with nurses through the use of telesimulation with debriefing. Finally, the nurses were subjected to a semi-structured interview to evaluate the potential of the technology, whose data underwent thematic analysis with an inductive model.

resultsThe nurses recognised the communication failures portrayed as part of their daily practice, reflected on their mistakes, and on actions to be adopted to change behaviour during the handover.

conclusionsThe simulation-based technology prototype has the potential to promote self-reflection and raise nurses' awareness of the need to change behaviours during the handover. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The simulation-based technology prototype can be applied as an educational strategy to improve communication safety in nursing handover. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
