Towards a Scope of Practice for Peer Support Workers in Addictions: A Community-Based Study Using Qualitative Description.
Article in Global qualitative nursing research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aim of this study was to identify how Peer Support Workers (PSWs) understand their scope of practice, to provide greater clarity for PSWs working in addiction care with interprofessional teams. We conducted semi-structured interviews with PSWs and analysed the results using qualitative description. We interviewed 17 PSWs from a variety of backgrounds. We identified five descriptive themes that illustrate how PSWs delineated their scope of practice: building relationships with clients, therapeutic engagement with clients, system navigation, providing supplies to clients, and professional development. PSWs had a clear sense of their scope of practice and how they could be most effective, despite a lack of recognition of this scope in their workplaces. By creating a preliminary description for a PSW scope of practice, we hope that PSWs and nurses can work together to support the PSW professional role, enhancing patient outcomes.
