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

In recent years, with the increased accessibility of online resources, digital storytelling (DST) has emerged as a valuable and expanding database for qualitative nursing and health researchers to explore patients' experiences, professional narratives, and community voices. While the current methodological literature offers various approaches for analyzing digital storytelling with regard to its specific content, many frameworks overlook the multilayered nature of these narratives and lack a systematic guide for navigating the complex data-analysis phase. This phase requires careful identification of the different layers of data and a structured evaluation of their significance, enabling researchers to justify analytic decisions regarding which layers of DST they chose to analyze, a choice that can inform nursing practice, education, and policy. This article proposes a multilayered data-analysis framework. The suggested framework categorizes DST along a two-axis matrix: one ranging from individual to collective, and the other from simple to stylized. To illustrate its practical application, four short hypothetical case studies situated within health and nursing contexts are presented. The discussion situates this framework within the broader sociopolitical, cultural, and ethical dimensions of health-related digital storytelling, underscoring its relevance for advancing nursing knowledge, enhancing culturally sensitive care, and contributing to patient-centered health research.
