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
In 2016, Bowen and Prentice published a dialogue on Benner's model 'From Novice to Expert'. Their main concern was to explore the development of expertise in nursing and the evolution of this expertise when domains of practice change. In this contribution, this dialogue by Bowen and Prentice (2016) is the starting point to consider Advanced Practice Nurses (APN). The argument will propose that Benner's model can help perceive APN skill (and knowledge) acquisition. For this purpose, Benner's original works, the philosophical bases on knowing that and knowing how, as well as the concept of APN, which was developed by Ann Hamric (2014; Tracy et al. 2023), are consulted. Eventually, it will be demonstrated that Benner's model can be employed in conjunction with APN and can provide valuable insight into skill and knowledge acquisition and career development. Therefore, APN can reinvigorate Benner's model and render it again very valid for today. This contribution will conclude with suggestions for supporting APNs' skill and knowledge development and indications for the evolvement of Benner's model.
