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

With the standardization of the clinical trial industry, clinical research nurses, as core members of multidisciplinary research teams, their role positioning, duties, and career development paths have become critical factors in improving the quality of clinical trials. This review compares and analyses the current practices of clinical research nurses in developed and developing countries, taking China as an example. It sorts out differences in their role perceptions, duty divisions, career promotion paths, and analyses the obstacles affecting the career development of clinical research nurses in China. It aims to provide a useful reference for the professional construction of clinical research nurses in China and other developing countries, help optimize the cultivation mode and management mechanism of clinical research nurses, and then promote the high-quality development of the clinical trial industry in developing countries.
