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

backgroundNurse engagement is correlated with adequate staffing, top-of-license practice, and a primary nursing model with a nurse leader. In an academic radiation oncology practice lacking primary nursing alignment and top-of-license practice, leadership implemented a clinical care model.

objectivesThis study aimed to improve nursing engagement and quality process outcomes.

methodsIn this quality improvement study, leadership implemented a clinical care model including the establishment of a nurse leader, staffing benchmarks, and a primary nursing model, and redefined responsibilities to support top-of-license practice. The study population included 17 team members (8 physicians, 5 clinic schedulers, and 4 RNs). Surveys were distributed prior to and three months postimplementation.

findingsPostimplementation, patient rooming by RNs decreased, documentation of side effect education increased, and all RNs reported top-of-license practice often/always. Physicians reported improvement in moderate/strong ratings for RN and clinic scheduler expertise and nursing care quality. These results suggest that enhanced clinical care models can improve quality process outcomes in radiation oncology.
