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

Aim: To evaluate the current status and explore influencing factors of junior intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' recognition and response capabilities to clinical deterioration. Design: This cross-sectional study followed the STROBE statement. Methods: From November 2024 to January 2025, 260 junior ICU nurses from five tertiary hospitals in China were recruited. Data were collected using a validated 25-item questionnaire spanning six dimensions to assess their recognition and response abilities. SPSS was used for statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis H/Mann-Whitney Results: The total score for recognition and response abilities among 250 junior ICU nurses was 99 (95, 103), with an average item score of 3.96 ± 0.83. Dimension scores ranked from lowest to highest: emergency handling, evaluation, teamwork, disease information analysis, disease information acquisition, and clinical decision-making. Education level, work experience, and participation in disease observation training were identified as significant influencing factors. Conclusions: Junior ICU nurses in China demonstrate relatively strong overall observation skills but insufficient clinical decision-making abilities. Nursing managers and educators should integrate these factors into training to enhance young nurses' capabilities in recognizing and responding to clinical deterioration, which is crucial for improving critical care outcomes. Patient or Public Contribution: Patients and the public were not directly involved in the design, implementation, or reporting of this study. However, the results of the study emphasize the importance of improving primary ICU nurses' clinical decision-making skills and emergency response skills, which may have an impact on patient care.
