Experiences of team collaboration among intensive care nurses during COVID-19: a qualitative systematic review and meta-synthesis.

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
Objective: This study included qualitative studies and employed a meta-synthesis to assess the support, challenges, and coping strategies related to teamwork among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Design: Qualitative meta-synthesis. Methods: A systematic search was conducted across five databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. The search period covered from inception to December 11, 2025. The study employed the three-stage thematic synthesis approach by Thomas and Harden, aided by the NVivo 14 software. Findings: A total of 48 qualitative studies were included, and six main themes with thirteen sub-themes were identified: (1) the support and understanding received from colleagues, the team, and management; (2) interpersonal unfamiliarity and tension; (3) instability in the team structure; (4) managerial inadequacies; (5) team adaptability; (6) empowered teamwork. Conclusion: Beyond the need for psychological support from colleagues, the team, and management, it was found that strengthening organizational resilience was key to improving teamwork.
