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

objectiveTo unveil strategies for tackling fake news in the context of health and nursing from nursing professionals' perspective.

methodThis qualitative research, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were, respectively, Complexity Theory and Grounded Theory, involved 25 nursing professionals from a public hospital and a Family Clinic in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between 2021 and 2023.

resultsThe meanings revealed by nursing professionals considered the complexity of tackling fake news, highlighting that the dissemination of this information occurs through multiple channels and is embedded in social, political, and technological dynamics. The results indicated the importance of developing institutional fact-checking mechanisms and promoting educational campaigns as strategies to minimize the impacts of fake news on healthcare.

conclusionThe study's complex perspective indicates that tackling fake news in health and nursing requires multidimensional approaches that combine education, regulation, and the valuing of science in the construction of reliable knowledge.
