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 and Aims: Medical errors that result in patient injuries and fatalities are a significant concern in healthcare. Understanding these errors and their contributing factors is essential for enhancing the quality of patient care. This study aimed to investigate nursing errors and the factors that influence them. Methods: This study employed a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design and was conducted in Iran from 2022 to 2023. The study consisted of two phases. In the quantitative phase, a cross-sectional study was conducted in which 200 nurses in Kerman City completed two questionnaires: one on nursing errors and the other on factors influencing nursing errors. In the qualitative phase, the researchers conducted semi-structured, in-depth, face-to-face individual interviews with 30 nurses. Results: Two hundred nurses took part in the quantitative phase, and 99% of them reported experiencing at least one nursing error. The highest average score for errors was associated with medication errors (3.40 ± 0.37), followed by care errors (2.85 ± 1.34). The average scores for the most prevalent causes of errors were highest in the organizational dimension (3.8 ± 1.01). A significant positive correlation was found between the average scores of various error dimensions and the average scores of different dimensions related to the causes of errors ( Conclusion: The study revealed a high prevalence of nursing errors, emphasizing the need for proactive measures. Healthcare system managers and decision-makers must take into account the factors that contribute to nursing errors and respond appropriately to eliminate or reduce them.
