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

Background: Safe perioperative transfer of patients with potential spinal cord injury (SCI) is essential to prevent secondary neurological damage. Targeted training of operating room nurses (ORNs) is critical for ensuring adherence to best-practice transfer techniques. Objectives: To determine the effect of a scenario-based training intervention on knowledge and self-reported practices of ORNs regarding safe perioperative transfer of patients with potential SCI. Methods: This survey-based pre- and post-intervention study was conducted at Hamad General Hospital, Doha, Qatar, between January and March 2024. A structured self-administered questionnaire was administered to ORNs before and after a targeted training intervention. Variables included preferred transfer device, number of staff required, leadership during transfer, hand positioning, and command sequence. Descriptive statistics and McNemar's test were used for analysis. Results: A total of 138 ORNs participated (mean age, 37.6 ± 6.2 years; 68% female). Use of plastic boards increased from 88% ( Conclusion: A targeted scenario-based training intervention significantly improved ORNs' knowledge and self-reported adherence to safe perioperative transfer practices for patients with potential SCI.
