Development of indicator system for early warning of clinical nursing critical values in general wards: a Delphi study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimThis study aimed to develop an indicator system for early warning of clinical nursing critical values for implementation in general wards.
backgroundBy simultaneously assessing multiple physiological parameters, subtle changes in a patient's clinical status can be more readily identified. However, the literature indicates that current early warning systems (EWS) are primarily utilized in in critical care units (ICU), prehospital first aid and hospital emergency cases. There remains a lack of consensus regarding early warning systems for critical nursing values in general wards, along with a shortage of effective and practical quantitative indicators for nursing risk prevention.
methodsThis study employed an integrative research approach combining literature review, theoretical analysis, and qualitative methodology. Through systematic screening, a critical nursing value warning indicators draft was identified. two-round Delphi survey was conducted involving 148 experts from clinical nursing, nursing education, and professional associations. The entire research process strictly adhered to the modified Conducting and Reporting of Delphi Studies (CREDES) guidelines and the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist to ensure methodological rigor and transparency.
resultsIn the two Delphi survey rounds, the response rates for the two questionnaires were 96.62% and 99.32%, respectively. The authority coefficients were 0.854 and 0.871, respectively, with coefficients of variation ranging from 0.08 to 0.23. The final early warning system for clinical nursing critical values in general wards was composed of 10 primary indicators and 23 secondary indicators.
conclusionsThe developed indicator system for clinical nursing critical value early warning in general wards demonstrates both scientific reliability and practical applicability. It provides clear guidance to clinical nurses, enabling timely detection of patient condition changes, prevention of adverse events, and assurance of clinical nursing safety. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The development and establishment of indicator system for early warning of clinical nursing critical values in general wards will help to identify changes in patient conditions, avoidance of adverse events, and the assurance of clinical nursing safety.
