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

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop suitable measures and strategies through a trans- and interdisciplinary discourse to improve pandemic management in (acute) inpatient care facilities (clinics, nursing homes) and thereby reduce the burden on nursing staff. Methods: Two scenario-based workshops were conducted-one focused on acute care and the other on long-term care. Following a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach, the workshops integrated perspectives from nursing practice, research, and relevant institutions. Using foresight methods such as the Futures Wheel and Ideation Canvas, participants co-developed potential solutions for optimizing pandemic preparedness and response. A total of 38 participants took part in the two-day workshops (acute care: 18; long-term care: 20). Results: Participants developed outcomes at both structural and organizational levels, identifying short- and long-term effective strategies and interventions. Key findings addressed areas such as communication, internal organization, interface management, and the involvement of nursing practitioners. Examples include the (political) empowerment and increased participation of nurses, the development of digital and interdisciplinary structures, including skill-grade mix teams. Across both care settings, participants emphasized the need for formal nursing representation and clearly defined professional roles and responsibilities. Conclusion: Effective crisis management in inpatient care settings requires a systemic approach that integrates actions at the micro, meso, and macro levels. Coordinated collaboration between policy, science, and practice is essential to strengthen system resilience and sustainably improve working conditions in healthcare.
