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

<p>Introduction: The multicentre cluster-randomized PRiVENT study aims to improve weaning of long-term ventilated patients in German intensive care units via a complex interprofessional intervention. To assess perceptions on interprofessional collaboration and job satisfaction among different health professions, a survey was conducted in four clusters, each comprising one weaning centre and 7-12 cooperation hospitals.

methodsThree validated questionnaires were used to measure (a) interprofessional socialization (7-level Likert scale), (b) interprofessional collaboration (5-level), and (c) job satisfaction (7-level). Alongside a descriptive analysis, a subgroup analysis was performed comparing mean scores between physicians and non-physicians and the four clusters. Correlation coefficients were calculated to check for correlations of age group and work experience with interprofessional collaboration and job satisfaction.

resultsSixty-two questionnaires were returned by health workers of the intensive care units, corresponding to a response rate of 47%. Respondents rated interprofessional socialization (5.7 ± 0.6) and collaboration (3.8 ± 0.6) as good. Job satisfaction was high (5.1 ± 1.0), particularly regarding the collegial environment and variety of work tasks. Satisfaction with physical workload, income, and working hours was lower. Compared to physicians, overall ratings of non-physicians were lower, although the differences were not statistically significant, as were those between clusters. There was a statistically significant positive correlation of age group and work experience with overall job satisfaction.

conclusionHealth workers within PRiVENT are satisfied with their workplace conditions and rate interprofessional collaboration as good. Follow-up surveys will provide insights into the impact of PRiVENT on interprofessional cooperation and job satisfaction. </p>.
