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

Introduction: Nursing management of peripheral intravenous catheters remains suboptimal and often lacks integration with underpinning theory. Therefore, it is essential to reflect on the persistent gap between theory and practice to enhance patients' outcomes in this area. Objectives: To conceptually evaluate the integration of Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model using Chinn and Kramer's criteria, and to explore the integration of these two complementary frameworks with Kramer's Ways of Knowing for peripheral intravenous catheter decision-making and patient outcomes improvement in the emergency department. Methods: A discussion paper, using Tanner's Clinical Judgment and Chinn & Kramer's Models, to bridge theory and practice, in peripheral intravenous catheter management in the emergency departments, done in October 2024, through consensus among authors, in interactive rounds. Results: According to Chinn and Kramer's model, which advocates evidence-informed and theory-based practice, the absence of theory in nursing education and practice is detrimental to the discipline. Tanner's model supports the integration of evidence into practice, and Chinn and Kramer's framework guides nurses in refining their decisions. In deciding whether to insert a peripheral intravenous catheter, emergency department nurses engage in cognitive and reflective processes, consult evidence-based guidelines, and integrate empirical evidence with personal and ethical considerations to ensure technically sound, empathetic, and ethically grounded patient care. Conclusions: This article analyses and promotes critical reflection on advanced practice nursing decision-making in the emergency department, exemplified by the holistic, evidence-informed processes that nurses use in peripheral intravenous catheter management. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these models in education and clinical reasoning in specific emergent situations.
