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
objectiveto analyze, from a comparative perspective, the training and regulation of nurses' work and the proposals for the implementation of the advanced practice nurse role in selected Latin American countries.
methoda descriptive comparative case study was conducted to understand the training and regulation of nursing work in five countries: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Data were collected in five focus groups with key informants from each country. The content was systematized in an analytical matrix that was validated by the participants.
resultsthe countries are at different stages of debate and implementation of expanding the scope of practice. The primary care level is considered a potential space for the performance of this role. In addition, master's programs constitute a training opportunity for these professionals. The exchange of international experiences and working groups have been initiatives to discuss the role and consider the specific characteristics of each country in its implementation process.
conclusionthere are interest and initiatives to expand the role of nurses in Latin America; however, there is still a long way to go in terms of training, scope of practice, regulation, and the labor market.
