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
Objective: To analyze the concept of nurse navigator in light of the Walker and Avant model. Methods: This is a concept analysis, based on the Walker and Avant model, operationalized through a scope review according to the JBI and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The investigation follows other methodological stages for the construction and understanding of the "nurse navigator" concept. Results: The attributes that prevailed were care management, health literacy, overcoming barriers, assertive communication, bonding, specialized knowledge, continued care, quality of care and patient integration into health systems. Regarding the most frequent antecedents, the following stand out: vulnerable populations, health disparities, communication gaps, delays and fragmentation of care, and low therapeutic adherence. The main consequences were the reduction of costs and mortality, reduction of hospitalizations and time spent in hospital, improvements in access to healthcare, adherence to treatment, quality of life and satisfaction with care. Conclusion: The study defined the nurse navigator as the professional who manages care in a continuous way, capable of integrating it into the health system and strengthening the nurse-patient bond, reducing barriers and disparities, in addition to guaranteeing continuity and adherence to treatment.
