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

aimWe aimed to explore hospital-based nurses' experiences and perspectives on their conduct of clinical nursing practice through 12 months of 'cross-sectoral home-based follow-up visits' for older patients discharged from hospital to home care.

designThis study is theoretically and methodologically grounded in critical psychological practice research.

methodsWe conducted 11 co-researcher meetings with 5 hospital-based nurses over 12 months, exploring changes and dynamics over time. Data were analysed with the condition, meaning and reasoning analysis.

resultsWe identified four themes: (1) Evolving nursing practice and care, (2) Instrumental nursing influenced care over time, (3) Development of caring communities as a bridge between healthcare sectors and (4) Being in the patient's home transforms nursing and care.

conclusionThe hospital-based nurses significantly enhanced their competencies over the 12 months of conducting cross-sectoral home-based follow-up visits. Engaging with the patients in their homes allowed the hospital-based nurses to develop their sensitive and sensory awareness. The embodied knowledge gained through these experiences improved their approach to transitional care and influenced and evolved their nursing practice within the hospital setting and care provided to older patients. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS: Hospital-based nurses were enrolled in data collection and data analysis.
