When Nurses Worry: A Concept Analysis of Intuition in Clinical Deterioration.
Review in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNurse worry is a criterion often included in early warning systems tools and used to escalate care when other clinical markers do not indicate deterioration. What it means to worry, however, is not always clear.
aimsTo generate a concept analysis of nurse worry in relation to clinical deterioration.
designRodgers's evolutionary method was used.
methodA review was first conducted in April 2024, searching the Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Pubmed, EmCare, and Embase databases. A total of 22 articles were subjected to analysis of the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of nurse worry in the context of clinical deterioration. The processes of nurse worry were subsequently mapped and conceptualised, leading to a descriptive statement of nurse worry.
resultsWorry captures a nurse's sense of knowing the patient and is embodied via assessing, sensing, recognising, and processing information, cues, and patterns.
conclusionNurse worry is a complex process, impacted by external and internal factors. Implications for the profession or patient care: Assured practice, driven by validation of a nurse's worry, leads to proactive care of the deteriorating patient, whereas apprehensive practice, driven by fear and trepidation, leads to reactive care of the deteriorating patient. IMPACT: Nurse worry is a criterion often included in early warning systems tools and used to escalate care when other clinical markers do not indicate clinical deterioration. What it means to worry, however, is not always clear. From the concept analysis, a descriptive statement of nurse worry emerged. Worry captures a nurse's sense of knowing the patient and is embodied via assessing, sensing, recognising, and processing information, cues, and patterns. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION OR PATIENT CARE: This research has implications for nurses, policymakers, and organisations, as nurse worry is an important element in detecting clinical deterioration. Nurse worry must be organisationally supported. REPORTING
