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

backgroundLebanon is a country that regularly faces wars and arms conflicts. The magnitude of the most recent war this year was unprecedented since 1982, posing implications on many sectors in Lebanon including nursing.

aimThe aim of this research was to explore the perceptions of Lebanese nurses on the delivery of nursing care during the most recent war in Lebanon.

methodsA qualitative descriptive research design informed by descriptive phenomenology was employed. Semi-structured interviews were carried out among 19 nurse's working at both governmental and private hospitals in Beirut. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted over the period of 2 and a half months.

findingsThe inductive thematic analysis generated fours themes: "Unique working circumstances", "Patriotism and faith shaping wartime care", "Evolving concept of care", and "Professional and personal lessons".

conclusionThe study underscores the need for specialized war-related educational programs to train highly skilled nursing staff for effective care during emergencies in conflict zones like Lebanon, with potential implications for nursing academia and policy makers.
