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

backgroundUndergraduate anesthesia nursing students are a vital segment of China’s anesthesia nursing workforce, and their core competency levels are directly linked to patient safety and the quality of medical services. However, the core competence index system for undergraduate anesthesia nursing graduates has not been established in China.

objectiveTo establish a core competence index system for undergraduate anesthesia nursing graduates.

methodsThrough literature review and semi-structured interviews (n = 8), a preliminary index system was established under the guidance of Hauenstein’s taxonomy of educational objectives. The Delphi technique (n = 16) was employed to finalize the index system, with weights assigned to each index using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Expert consensus criteria were set as follows: mean importance score (Mj) ≥ 3.5, coefficient of variation (CV) ≤ 0.25, full-score rate ≥ 20%.

resultsThe effective recovery rates of the two rounds of questionnaires were both 100%, and the expert authority coefficients were 0.940 and 0.947 respectively. Kendall’s coefficients of coordination of the indexes at all levels in the 2 rounds of consultation were 0.289–0.375 and 0.323–0.387, respectively (P < 0.001). The final core competence index system for undergraduate anesthesia nursing graduates contains 4 first-level indexes (cognitive domain, emotional domain, skill domain, and behavioral domain), 17 second-level indexes, and 125 third-level indexes.

conclusionsThe constructed index system of the core competencies for core competences in undergraduate anesthesia nursing is both scientific and comprehensive, potentially serving as a reference for the training and assessment of undergraduate anesthesia nursing graduates. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
