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
aimThis study aimed to explore the experiences of nurses and nurse managers when using the Unforeseen Situations of Staffing and Qualifications action Model (USSQM) and to describe their views on the further development needs of the USSQM.
methodsA descriptive qualitative study was employed. Nineteen (n = 19) nurses and nurse managers from one department of a University Hospital in Finland were selected for semistructured focus-group interviews by purposive sampling. Data were collected from January to October 2025; the interview guide focused on participant's experiences of the use of USSQM. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis.
resultsThe analysis of the results revealed six themes: (1) Integration of the USSQM into clinical routine, (2) Providing decision-making support and practice clarity, (3) Strengthening the fundamentals of the USSQM, (4) Safeguarding nurse well-being and ethics, (5) Fostering communication and cooperation, (6) Utilization of digital solutions. Nurses and nurse managers described that USSQM was mainly used to assess workload status and manage patient flow. Participants described experiencing a tension between their strong professional ethics and the fundamental objectives of the USSQM. Consequently, they expressed that it was challenging to follow the reorganization and prioritization guidelines dictated by the model.
conclusionsThe participants described the USSQM as a practical and usable action model for daily practice. However, future refinement of the USSQM must focus on integrating objective workload indicators to reduce subjectivity and utilizing digital solutions for automated data retrieval. Additionally, adequate information and support from organizational leadership should be ensured during the implementation process to facilitate the comprehensive use of the USSQM. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers especially experienced that USSQM gave them support in decision-making; therefore, nurse managers play an essential role in ensuring the implementation of the USSQM in the units. They serve as role models and support nurses in decision-making when tasks need to be reorganized or prioritized during periods of high workload.
