Construction of the core competencies training system for thoracic surgery specialist nurses: A mixed-methods study.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo develop a training system for cultivating the core competencies of thoracic surgery specialist nurses.
methodsA mixed-methods study was employed, comprising two stages: (1) A literature review and semi-structured interviews with thoracic surgical healthcare professionals were conducted to develop a preliminary core competencies training system for thoracic surgery specialist nurses; (2) A two-round Delphi expert consultation was conducted to determine the final training system.
resultsConsensus was reached on the core competency framework (training objectives) (6 first-level, 17 second-level indicators), 92 items of curriculum content along with their corresponding teaching methods, 17 aspects of organizational management, and 8 evaluation methods. The response rate was 100%. The authority coefficient was 0.895. The Kendall's coefficients for the two rounds of expert inquiry were 0.141 and 0.210, respectively.
conclusionThis study developed a scientific, comprehensive specialty training system for thoracic surgery specialist nurses, meeting practical nursing needs, and enriching the field's evidence base. It delivers substantial clinical and practical value to nursing administrators, practitioners, patients, and the healthcare system. Future research should validate its practical value through larger-scale empirical studies, continuously gather feedback on training outcomes, refine the training system, and further enhance its adaptability and influence.
