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

objectivesto aimed to explore patient handoff practices among nursing teams in hemodialysis clinics.

methodsthis study was conducted from April to June 2022, in six hemodialysis clinics in five health regions in Ceará, Brazil. The study involved 44 in-depth individual interviews with nursing professionals. Interviews occurred from April to June 2022 and were recorded for subsequent transcription.

resultsfour themes emerged from the data analysis: Information communicated during patient handoff; Failures in patient handoff; Communication-enabling technologies; and Nursing team's perceptions on patient handoff. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the findings indicate that the patient handoff practices in hemodialysis clinics lack standardization and require improved communication among the nursing team. The lack of uniformity in information transmitted during shift handoffs poses a potential risk to patient safety and requires attention to enhance communication protocols.
