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

objectivesto reflect on nursing's role in essential public health functions in the Americas, highlighting contributions, challenges, and perspectives for strengthening public health actions.

methodsthis theoretical-reflective study was conducted between March and April 2025, based on Pan American Health Organization official documents, especially the 2002 and 2021 versions of the essential functions. The materials were identified by searching the Pan American Health Organization's institutional repository, including normative and descriptive documents. The analysis was structured in four stages: historical evolution; conceptual update of the functions; impact on the Brazilian reality; and nursing contributions.

resultsthe updated essential functions incorporated social determinants. Nursing stands out for its strategic role in surveillance, health promotion, and public policy formulation. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the updated essential functions expand opportunities for nursing to reduce inequalities and strengthen resilient and inclusive health systems.
