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

This study assessed patient handover practices and associated factors among inpatient nurses at South Wollo Zone hospitals in Ethiopia (2022). A hospital-based cross-sectional study using a structured questionnaire and observational checklist was conducted with 389 of which 369 of them responded the self-administered questionnaire inpatient nurses. The overall handover practice level was 43.6%. Positive associations were found with technology use and the availability of protocols, while fatigue and intrusions negatively impacted practice. The study highlights the need to improve handover practices through technological enhancements, the development of effective protocols, and improved nurse staffing to mitigate fatigue.
