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

introductionPatient safety culture and nurses' voice behavior have critical importance in healthcare settings because they influence the quality of care. Therefore, it is important to determine nurses' voice behaviors regarding patient safety.

aimsIn this study, it was aimed to determine nurses' perceptions of patient safety culture and voice behavior, the relationship between these two variables, and predictors of voice behavior.

methodsA descriptive and correlational study. The study was conducted using convenience sampling method between September 2022 and March 2023 with a total of 753 nurses in all units (except managers) of two public university hospitals in Türkiye (n = 753). The data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and the Employee Voice Scale. Multivariate analyses included hierarchical linear regression.

resultsA moderate and positive significant correlation was found between the positive response total mean score of the patient safety culture and the total employee voice score. In addition, it was determined that the total patient safety culture score, feedback about errors and openness in communication from the patient safety culture sub-dimensions, shift work, and education status were the variables that significantly determined the voice behaviors of nurses.

conclusionThe study empirically demonstrates that it is necessary to improve the perception of patient safety culture among nurses and hospital administrators, especially the perception of nonpunitive responses to errors, to increase nurses' voice behaviors.
