Nursing's Scientific Method.
Article in The American journal of nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractThe nursing process, developed by nursing theorist Ida Jean Orlando, has guided nurses for more than 65 years. Yet as nursing's responsibilities and evidence-based knowledge evolves, so should the nursing process. This article offers four recommendations to enhance the process: (1) changing "nursing process" to "nursing's scientific method"; (2) adding "relationship building" and "communication" to the method; (3) renaming "nursing diagnosis" and "outcome identification" to "problems/strengths identification" and "goals"; and (4) emphasizing that nursing's scientific method is a critical thinking methodology. These changes would better promote critical thinking, patient-centeredness, effectiveness of nursing care, and patient safety and engagement. Evidence and research are cited to support these recommendations.
