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
Background: The nursing shortage is influenced by an often-reported transition shock among newly graduated nurses, and transition programmes may support both retention and improve the quality of nursing care. Objective: To measure patients' and nursing staffs' perceptions of missed nursing care in study wards following a two-year transition programme for newly graduated nurses compared to wards following a standard transition program. Design: A comparative cross-sectional survey design was used. Settings: Three medical inpatient wards with a two-year transition program and three comparable medical inpatient wards with a standard transition programme. Participants: Data collection started March 3rd 2025. Based on a power calculation, 206 hospitalised patients, comprising 103 from the study wards and 103 from the standard wards, were included. 239 nursing staffs was invited to participate; of these, 159 responded to the survey. Methods: The validated Results: Patients in wards with a two-year transition programme reported less missed psychosocial care (p=0.03), particularly for involvement in decisions (p=0.02), receiving needed information (p=0.03), and being treated with dignity (p=0.05), but they reported with more missed care related to help with walking (p=0.03).Nursing staff in study wards reported less missed nursing care for patient teaching (p=0.01), complete documentation (p=0.04), and timely medication administration (p= 0.05), but more missed care in responding to call lights within 5 minutes (p=0.01). They also rated urgent patient situations (p=0.02,) lack of team backup (p=0.03) and insufficient assistive personnel (p<0.001) as less important reasons for missed care than staff in standard wards. Conclusions: The results indicate that a longer and more comprehensive transition programme may contribute to improved psychosocial care and a supportive clinical environment, potentially at the expense of assistance with ambulation or call-light response times. Further research on patient outcomes is needed.
