Registered and Specialist Nurses' Perspectives on Organisational Changes in Swedish Municipal Home Care: A Qualitative Study Using Shadowing.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
aimTo explore and characterise organisational changes related to clinical competencies, responsibilities, and roles from the perspectives of registered and specialist nurses in municipal home care settings.
designA qualitative exploratory study was conducted.
methodsInductive thematic analysis was used to analyse field notes from shadowing 18 participants (12 registered nurses and six specialist nurses) from the beginning of their working day until the end of their shift.
resultsThe analysis revealed four main themes: the black box in the health care system; workarounds in the workplace; a profession on the brink of change; and the transfer of tasks towards the neighbourhood with linked subthemes.
conclusionThis study indicates that registered and specialist nurses in municipal home care need to be more visible in the health care system, collaborating with others and as part of broader society, to meet the needs of the increasing number of older people living at home. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The results can be used when developing home care in communities by acknowledging the accountability that registered and specialist nurses exercise, despite limited resources and support, as well as recognising the importance of advanced practice nurses in coordinating home care. This study also highlights potential suggestions for developing municipal home care by acknowledging the accountability of registered and specialist nurses.
