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

aimTo summarize the application of virtual reality technology in nursing management, so as to provide reference for the further development of virtual reality technology in nursing management.

designThe design entails a scoping review using the methodological framework of PRISMA-ScR.

methodsA literature search was conducted using combined keywords in 2 English databases (PubMed, EMBASE) and 3 Chinese databases (Chinese Journal Full-Text Database, Wan fang Database, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals) of peer-reviewed publications covering the dates of publication from 2001 to July, 2021. Title and abstract screening and a full-text screening were conducted by two independent authors. Results were reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

resultsThe search yielded 619 hits. A total of 17 journal articles met the inclusion criteria. We identified the following five themes: (a) innovate training mode and deepen theoretical knowledge, (b) non-invasive repetitive training to improve basic skills, (c) multiple virtual situations to help the development of the specialty, (d) standardize medical management and reduce potential safety hazards, (e) improve patient management based on holistic care.

conclusionsThe paper points out that, the combination of virtual reality technology and nursing management is still in its infancy in China. Compared with foreign countries, there are few types of virtual situations in China, the depth and breadth of application research are insufficient, and the attention to nursing staff management ignores the spiritual level, which has a lot of room for improvement.
