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

aimConducting a concept analysis of caring partnerships can enhance understanding and communication among professionals and aid in perceiving and measuring the concept. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the concept of a caring partnership in nursing based on Newman's health as expanding consciousness theory.

designConcept analysis. REVIEW

methodsThe eight-step approach of Walker and Avant's concept analysis was employed to explore the caring partnership concept, including its definitions, defining characteristics, antecedents, consequences and empirical referents through a comprehensive literature search.

resultsThe identified defining attributes-presence, mutual trust and connectedness-describe a caring partnership as a meaningful connection between a nurse and a client. A caring partnership serves as a nursing intervention wherein a nurse assists a client in navigating difficult situations to find meaning, fostering an expansion of consciousness for both.

conclusionsRecognising these attributes enhances nurses' understanding of caring partnerships, offering a rationale for their application in research and clinical practice. This study provides theoretical evidence for research on caring partnerships as well as the implementation of the concept in clinical practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: This study is novel in that it provides theoretical evidence for research on caring partnerships as well as the implementation of the concept in clinical practice by defining it based on Newman's health as expanding consciousness theory. IMPACT: Subsequent studies should develop instruments for measuring caring partnerships and education programs that enhance caring partnerships, considering the attributes and definitions of the concepts derived in this study.
