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

Children and older adults are two core groups in the nursing system with distinct needs and high economic dependence. The dual pressures of global aging and persistent childhood health issues strain nursing resources and raise concerns about long-term financial sustainability. Cost-effectiveness analysis provides a key framework for evaluating the economic efficiency of nursing interventions for these populations. It shows that child nursing acts as a forward-looking investment with significant long-term health and social returns, while care for older adults focuses on sustained management to maintain quality of life and alleviate caregiver burdens. To improve the nursing system, this perspective study proposes strategies based on integrated life-course care, precise resource allocation, technological support, and reforms in policy and financing. Implementing these approaches can enhance the efficiency of resource use and advance the equity, effectiveness, and sustainability of nursing care.
