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

backgroundEffective collaboration among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses is critical for patient safety, yet traditional analyses often overlook the relational dependencies inherent in teamwork. This study aimed to delineate task-specific collaboration structures and identify pair-level determinants using network-aware methodologies.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary ICU involving 96 registered nurses during day shifts from January 1, 2025, to February 1, 2025. Collaboration was defined as coparticipation in clinical events and categorized into four task types: emergent response, procedural care, patient flow, and safety double-checks.

resultsEvent-based networks revealed distinct topologies: Emergent care showed compact clustering, while procedural care displayed hub-and-spoke configurations centered on specialists. MRQAP analysis (R

conclusionsICU nurse collaboration is multidimensional and task-dependent. Managerial strategies should prioritize optimizing roster designs for spatial proximity, fostering a psychologically safe climate, and strategically developing complementary competencies to enhance team resilience and care quality.
