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

purposeAssess US registered nurse genomic competency.

designAdministered the Genetics and Genomics Nursing Practice Survey (GGNPS).

methodsGGNPS assesses genomic knowledge, skills, attitudes, confidence, and utilization in nursing practice. Distributed by the American Nurses Association via email and online to US registered nurses. Results are analyzed using descriptive statistics and compared to 2010 data.

results1065 registered nurses responded. Most (41%) were Master's prepared, actively seeing patients (51%) and 66% considered it very important to learn more about genomics. Most (55%) reported their genomic knowledge was poor yet 51% reported a patient initiated a genetic discussion with them in the past 3 months. 66% completed all knowledge score items with a median score of 9/12, no change from 2010. Only 26% had heard of the Essential Competencies. Most reported no genomic curricular content (64%); had not attended a genomic course since licensure (64%); intended to learn more about genomics (70%); and would attend a course on their own time (79%).

conclusionsNurses felt genomics was important but have capacity deficits. Despite genomic discoveries and evidence-based practice guidelines that impact healthcare quality and safety, 20 years after the Genomic Competencies were established (2005) nursing genomic practice capacity remains low. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Genomics is critical to the safe, quality nursing practice regardless of the level of academic training, clinical role, or specialty.
