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

This study aimed to investigate emergency nurses’ perceptions of family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) and its correlates in Southwest China. A cross-sectional survey of 315 emergency nurses from 28 hospitals in Sichuan Province was conducted from August–September 2024. The Chinese versions of the Family Presence Risk-Benefit Scale (FPR-BS) and Family Presence Self-Confidence Scale (FPS-CS) were used. Multiple linear regression analyzed correlates of FPDR perception. Mean FPR-BS and FPS-CS scores were 2.65 ± 0.69 and 2.41 ± 0.59, respectively, indicating low-to-moderate perceived benefits and confidence. Years of emergency nursing experience (β = 0.21, P < 0.001), specialist certification (β = 0.22, P < 0.001), invitation frequency (β = 0.15, P = 0.001), and confidence (β = 0.40, P < 0.001) were independently associated with FPDR perception. Findings suggest that emergency nurses perceived relatively low benefits of FPDR and reported low self-confidence. Therefore, targeted education, mentored practice, and institutional policies are needed to facilitate FPDR implementation in China.
