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

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a structured and quantifiable system of nursing-sensitive quality indicators (NSQIs) for evaluating perioperative care in breast reconstruction surgery. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted. First, a literature review and qualitative study were conducted to identify the potential NSQIs for perioperative care in breast reconstruction surgery. Subsequently, a two-round Delphi study with 15 experts was conducted to reach a consensus and establish the final version of NSQIs system. Results: The final NSQIs system for perioperative care in breast reconstruction surgery consisted of 3 first-level indicators (Structure, Process, and Outcome), 9 second-level indicators and 24 third-level indicators. The Structure level focuses on organizational resources, including human resources and environmental equipment; the Process level emphasizes nursing assessment and interventions (particularly flap monitoring and wound management); and the Outcome level evaluates patient satisfaction, clinical complications, and psychosocial function. Conclusions: This study developed objective and practical NSQIs for perioperative care in breast reconstruction surgery. The NSQIs system provided a quantifiable evaluation tool and a scientific basis for nursing management. The implementation of the NSQIs system is expected to standardize nursing practice and guide the continuous quality improvement of perioperative care for breast reconstruction patients.
