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

To map and synthesise the current literature on educational interventions provided by nurses to nursing professionals to prevent skin tears in adults and older adults. A scoping review based on JBI methodology. Medline, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Web of Science, Science Direct, LILACS, Cochrane Library, ERIC, EMBASE, BVS and J_STAGE were searched from June to November 2022. Grey literature and unpublished studies were included. Studies in English, Spanish or Portuguese were considered, with no year limits. Searches were managed in Endnote and Rayyan. Two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts and full texts using Population, Concept and Context criteria. Discrepancies were resolved by a third reviewer. Data extraction employed a structured spreadsheet. Of 694 articles retrieved, four met the inclusion criteria, primarily prospective quasi-experimental studies. Two educational modalities were noted: face-to-face classes utilising PowerPoint presentations and online training accessible 24/7 via institutional websites. Key outcomes included improved knowledge levels and reduced skin tear incidence. Nurse-led educational interventions may enhance nursing knowledge and decrease skin tear incidence. Further research is necessary to identify optimal educational approaches and technologies, assess their feasibility and evaluate their direct impact on clinical practice and skin tear prevention and incidence.
