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

Background: Clinical alarms serve as vital safety mechanisms in Critical Care Units (CCUs); however, alarm fatigue and ineffective management remain global safety concerns. Evidence from Palestine is scarce, where staffing shortages and limited resources may further affect alarm management practices. Aim: This study aimed to assess critical care nurses' practices regarding clinical alarm management, identify perceived barriers, and examine predictors influencing these practices in the southern West Bank, Palestine. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, involving 146 critical care nurses who completed a structured questionnaire assessing alarm management practices and barriers, with two open-ended questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS for descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative responses were thematically analyzed. Results: The mean alarm-practice score was 3.56 out of 5. The majority of participating nurses had poor alarm management practices (65.8%). Female ( Conclusion: Alarm management practices among critical care nurses were below the expected standard. Addressing staffing limitations, strengthening training programs, and implementing supportive policies are essential to enhance alarm safety in Palestinian CCUs.
