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
purposeTo critically examine the effect on professional nurses' engagement in non-nursing tasks on nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes.
backgroundResearch undertaken in several countries indicates that a significant amount of nurses' time is spent in non-direct nursing care, often in non-nursing tasks. Negative outcomes of professional nurses' time spent on non-nursing tasks have been identified, including missed nursing care and burnout and turnover among nurses. Challenges for change in care delivery are addressed.
conclusionsThere are multiple opportunities for workforce redesign, including extending the applications of technology in care delivery. Nurse leaders and professional nurses must seize opportunities to engage in solutions to current challenges of nursing work, particularly within hospitals, to focus professional nursing work directly on patient care that leads to optimal health outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Reducing the non-nursing work for clinical nurses will reduce the overall workload and potentially lead to positive nurse and patient outcomes.
