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

aimThis study was conducted to analyse national competency indicators of nursing departments, understand each department's competency characteristics and utilise them to assign departments and impart required education for nurses.

designThis was a cross-section study.

methodsThe national competency indicators were derived by analytic hierarchy process, based on 176 experienced nurses at general hospitals in Korea. These competency indicators were evaluated by multidimensional scale analysis to produce a perception map of nursing departments and understand their competency characteristics. The SQUIRE checklist was used to report the present study.

resultsThe competency indicators of the wards were similar to the overall average. Regarding operating rooms, the competency indicators related to self-management and the ability to understand documents were high. Regarding emergency rooms, the competency indicators related to problem-solving and technical ability were high. Regarding the perception map centering around the ward, the position of each nursing department was different. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No Patient or Public Contribution.
