Article in Nursing in critical care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAs a patient-centred model of nursing care, primary nursing (PN) ensures continuity of care while promoting systematic involvement of patients and family members in the therapeutic process. To date, comprehensive published research projects that address the implementation of PN on intensive care units (ICUs) are rare.
aimsPrimary aim was to evaluate the overall process of development and implementation of PN in two German ICUs of a university hospital. Secondary aims were to identify changes on ICU, as well as nursing performance indicators. STUDY
designQuantitative design on a surgical (ICU 1) and medical (ICU 2) ICU. We used the validated German Instrument zur Erfassung von Pflegesystemen (IzEP(c)) with separate questionnaires for patients, relatives and medical staff at three data collection points as an as-is analysis before (t
resultsData collection took place between September 2023 and March 2025, and 264 questionnaires were analysed. The overall profile on ICU 1 started with individual nursing (44.5%, t
conclusionsPN was practiced in all included patients in both ICUs, but implementation was not fully achieved in ICU 2. Nevertheless, PN was practiced in included patients on ICU 2. Another evaluation on ICU 2 should be planned. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: PN on ICU is feasible and needs continuous support from nursing managers for successful implementation. An accompanying evaluation is mandatory for this purpose.
