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

PURPOSE/

aimsWe aimed to describe the experiences of nurses working on the COVID-19 frontlines and make recommendations for change at administrative, institutional, and health policy levels.

designWe used a qualitative descriptive study design to gather a rich and data-near account of nurses' experiences in their own words.

methodsWe conducted 10 semistructured interviews with nurses practicing in emergency departments or intensive care in the United States during the pandemic. Using Sandelowski's method, we independently coded data and identified emerging themes through an iterative process.

resultsMost nurses worked in Indiana, were in their 20s, and had less than 5 years of experience (range, 1.5-23 years; mean, 6.2 years). Five themes about pandemic nursing challenges emerged: (1) Shortages, (2) The Public's View of Nursing, (3) Death and Moral Conflict, (4) Emotional Toll, and (5) Unrealistic Expectations. Nurses reported wide-scaling challenges, which interfered with their ability to deliver high-quality patient care and impacted their mental and emotional well-being.

conclusionNurses faced significant challenges, and in many cases, the pandemic exacerbated existing issues in the healthcare system. In the aftermath of the pandemic, there remains a critical need for change at administrative, institutional, and health policy levels to support nurses and invest in the sustainability of the profession.
