Relationship between Additional Required Nursing Documentation and Patient Outcomes: A Scoping Review.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Although many aspects of nursing documentation are considered an essential part of clinical communication and care coordination, other types of nursing documentation have been implemented to meet compliance and secondary uses. Adding required documentation without carefully assessing its association with patient outcomes adds excessive documentation burden on nurses. There is a gap in the evidence of the association between additional required nursing documentation and improvements in patient outcomes.This study aimed to synthesize and describe the state of the evidence on the relationship between adding required electronic nursing documentation and improved patient outcomes in inpatient hospital settings.Databases were searched using relevant terms for original studies examining the effects of additional required nursing documentation. Two authors screened titles, abstracts, and full texts for eligibility criteria. PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCO), Web of Science, and Embase were searched for data from January 2011 to May 2023.A total of 47 studies were included. Of the studies reviewed, 57.4% (
