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: The Fundamentals of Care Framework outlines the core dimensions involved in delivering essential nursing care. Resource shortages and increased care demands compromise fundamental care delivery and contribute to missed nursing care. This impacts quality and safety within healthcare settings but is disproportionately experienced by older patients, therefore both nurse and patient voices must be heard. Objectives: To individually explore both nurse-reported and patient-reported perceptions of the frequency of missed nursing care. This research also aimed to estimate the factors that contribute to missed nursing care from nurses' perspectives and to identify to what extent the Design: A cross-sectional study using the Setting: A single large university, tertiary hospital in Ireland with over 800 beds. Participants: Approximately 929 fully qualified nurses working in direct patient care and all patients aged 65 or older in 31 adult inpatient wards were invited to participate. Methods: The Results: A total of 151 patients and 145 nurses participated. According to nurses, attending interdisciplinary care conferences, mobilisation and oral care were frequently missed. Patients reported that oral care, communication in relation to who their specific nurse was and mobilisation were frequently missed. The significant reasons for missed care included inadequate numbers of nursing staff and assistive personnel and urgent patient situations. The Conclusions: This study reiterates the need to prioritise nurse recruitment and retention strategies and highlights areas which require attention to ensure the delivery of fundamental care.
