Exploring the Role of Advanced Practice Nurses in Cardiology: A Scoping Review.
Article in International nursing review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 analyze the role of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the cardiology context in outpatient and inpatient settings, detailing their roles, competencies, and responsibilities. It also provides an overview of the main degrees and postgraduate training programs for specialization in cardiology management in major Western countries.
backgroundThe increasing complexity of the healthcare sector requires an evolution in nursing education and clinical competencies to effectively manage care in complex and interdisciplinary contexts such as cardiology settings.
methodsThis scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute framework. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was used to ensure rigorous and transparent reporting.
resultsAmong the 647 records analyzed, 15 were included in this review. In the cardiology setting, the APN plays a critical role in clinical care, education, and research, providing both direct and indirect support to patients at all stages, across outpatient and inpatient settings. Thanks to the advanced skills acquired through specific paths, it also acts as a link between the healthcare team and patients, improving the provision of care through personalized and coordinated actions and promoting continuous training and research in the field.
conclusionsAPN enhances cardiac care by offering in-depth clinical assessments, education, and support throughout the treatment process. However, the lack of standardized regulatory frameworks in some countries limits the autonomy of cardiology APNs within the healthcare system, compromising their ability to address unmet healthcare needs and collaborate internationally.
