Missed Care Prevalence and Associated Factors in Acute Care Settings: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of nursing practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThe aim of the study was to comprehensively analyse the prevalence and factors associated with missed nursing care in acute care settings.
methodsA systematic review was conducted to estimate the prevalence of missed nursing care, types of activities missed and associated factors in acute care hospital settings. Five electronic databases (CINAHL, Embase, Medline, PubMed and Scopus) were searched from inception to 14th December 2022. Type of missed care and associated factors were classified based on missed care concepts, definition and measurement. Random effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate proportions and levels of types of nursing activities missed.
resultsA total of 45 studies recruited 139 454 nurses reporting missed care activities. The most frequent activity missed was ambulation, with estimated prevalence of 46% (95%, CI [0.37, 0.55] I
conclusionsThis study reports significant missed basic nursing activities in healthcare settings globally, suggesting greater odds of unsafe patient outcomes of hospitalisation. Targeted preventative strategies need to be tailored to specific missed care activities.
