An Advanced Practice Nurse's Contributions to the Care of Opioid-Dependent Patients in an Acute Somatic Hospital: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 explore an Advanced Practice Nurse's contributions to the health care of hospitalised polysubstance-dependent patients undergoing opioid agonist therapy from the perspective of patients and involved professionals.
designA single-case study was conducted using Interpretive Description methodology. The Advanced Practice Nurse's service served as the case examined from the perspectives of the patients and the involved health care professionals.
methodsWe conducted five guided individual interviews (patient n = 4, professional n = 1) and two focus group interviews (hospital-internal n = 4, -external n = 5 professionals).
resultsOverall, seven themes were identified. Of these, five involve the Advanced Practice Nurse's activities: 'use specialised knowledge and experience'; 'act as a leading and coordinating reference person'; 'mediate between worlds'; 'build relationships and trust' and 'embody solution-oriented support'. The two remaining themes-'provide relaxation' and 'effectively improve patient care'-describe the impact of the APN's activities.
conclusionThe APN service improves clinical practice and closes a healthcare gap for polysubstance dependent patients in acute hospitals. We recommend developing similar services in other acute somatic hospitals and conducting quantitative research on the service's effectiveness. In addition, we suggest that the education of the treatment teams should be supported by continuous active learning processes in the workplace in order to promote transformation towards a person-centred culture.
