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

aimThis study aims to develop and validate a scientific and reliable set of nursing quality assessment indicators for orthopedic patients with pressure injuries based on the Donabedian model. The Delphi method was adopted for the selection and establishment of the indicators.

designDelphi method.

methodsWe developed an evaluation index system using a literature review and semi-structured interviews. Two rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted with 25 international experts to gather insights on indicators for orthopedic pressure injury care quality. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine indicator weights. Consensus was defined as an average score of at least 3.5 and agreement from 75% of participants. Based on these criteria, we finalized the evaluation framework.

resultsThe final evaluation index system for nursing quality in orthopedic pressure injury management comprises 3 first-level indicators-structural quality, process quality, and outcome quality-along with 9 second-level and 26 third-level indicators. Both rounds of expert consultation achieved a 100% effective response rate. The expert authority coefficients were 0.890 for the first round and 0.934 for the second round. In the second consultation round, Kendall's concordance coefficients for the first, second, and third-level indicators were 0.186, 0.217, and 0.115, respectively (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe nursing quality evaluation index system for orthopedic pressure injuries developed in this study is scientifically valid and applicable to clinical practice. It provides a standardized reference for assessing nursing quality in managing orthopedic pressure injuries. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE: The nursing quality evaluation index system for orthopedic pressure injuries, based on the Donabedian model, offers a structured framework for monitoring nursing quality. It standardizes nursing processes and improves resource allocation efficiency. Through outcome-based feedback, the system promotes continuous quality improvement, enhances service standardization, increases patient safety, and completes the quality management cycle. REPORTING
