A nursing-led pathway to safe task sharing in Japan: Interprofessional simulation and a common competency credential.
Article in Japan journal of nursing science : JJNS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
aimTo propose a nursing-led pathway for safe task sharing in Japan to address population aging and workforce shortages.
methodsThis Viewpoint outlines a practical route centering on five shared competency domains (decision-making, safety management, communication, equipment operation, and troubleshooting) verified through interprofessional simulation. We describe a common competency credential (CCC) assessed via standardized scenarios, objective rating scales, and mastery thresholds.
resultsA nursing-led policy pathway would align education, credentialing, and financing via the national fee schedule. By embedding stop rules, clear supervision levels, and psychological safety, the approach addresses concerns regarding safety, legal accountability, and hierarchy in the Japanese context.
conclusionsWith the 2024 fee schedule emphasizing team-based care, nursing-led interprofessional simulation and a CCC offer a feasible, evidence-informed route to safer care, greater efficiency, and a more sustainable workforce.
