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

Background: While interprofessional collaboration is becoming increasingly important, its current status and the competency of nurse practitioners (NPs) to collaborate with multiple professionals in Japan have not been studied. This study aimed to clarify and examine the current status of interprofessional collaboration in the workplace for Japanese NPs and its related factors. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, 760 Japanese NPs who had passed the NP qualification exam conducted by the Japanese Organization NP Faculties were targeted. Data were collected between July and December 2023, using the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale-II-J (AITCS-II-J), the Japanese version of the Self-assessment Scale of Interprofessional Competency (JASSIC), and the Workplace Support Scale. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were used for data analysis. Results: Of the 760 targeted, 137 participated, indicating a response rate of 18.0% (100% valid response rate). The AITCS-II-J was associated with the JASSIC and Workplace Support Scale. It was also associated with the JASSIC subscales of "Patient-/Client-/Family-/Community-Centered" and "Facilitation Relationship." The JASSIC was associated with "Informational Support" and "Evaluative Support." Conclusions: These results indicated that NPs' interprofessional collaboration skills and workplace support were the main factors determining collaboration quality. Additionally, informational and evaluative support from superiors was crucial to improve NPs' ability to collaborate with other professionals. To achieve effective interprofessional collaboration, developing advanced clinical and communication skills among NPs is necessary.
