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

backgroundMedication safety is an integral dimension of patient safety and one of the 11 principles in the World Health Organization Patient Safety Curriculum Guide. Medication errors can occur by all members of the health care provider; however, they are prevalent in nurses and nursing students. This study aimed to explore and describe medication errors from the perspective of Iranian internship nursing students and faculty. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe present study was done in 2023 using a descriptive qualitative method. Seventeen internship nursing students and five faculty were selected using a purposeful sampling method. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. We used qualitative content analysis for data analysis.

resultsData analysis revealed three categories, namely, determinants of error, disclosing/conceal, and psychological consequences of the error, and 12 subcategories.

conclusionInadequate medication knowledge and students' inattention to the principles of medication administration have paved the ground for medication errors by internship nursing students, thus threatening patient safety. Effective clinical supervision and training by instructors experienced in teaching and clinical practice can help address this challenge. Reassuring the students and creating a safe and anonymous reporting climate encourages students to report errors.
