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

Background: Nurse communication of patient needs at discharge is critical to ongoing care, but system-level demands often prohibit comprehensive discharge conversations. Caregivers of discharged patients frequently report feeling underprepared to meet patient needs. Meaningful interpersonal encounters, or Purpose: To explore and synthesize examples of nurse presence during discharge conversations through Presence Circles (structured focus groups) to provide recommendations for enhancing high-quality information at discharge. Methods: In a secondary analysis of data from a larger study based on the Nurse Presence Framework, nursing students ( Results: Within each of the five nurse presence practices, strategies and challenges were collapsed into broader themes that served as recommendations for enhancing the exchange of high-quality information at discharge. Conclusions: Presence Circles offered a useful space to share strategies and identify system changes that could advance the exchange of high-quality information at discharge. We have provided a synthesis of recommendations for nurses, particularly those new to discharge conversations or early in their nursing career, demonstrating the need to engage nursing students about discharge conversations and introduce considerations related to health care systems and policy to better support the discharge conversation experience.
