Understanding interaction between patients and nurse anesthetists. A systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. 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
Background: Interaction between healthcare professionals and patients is a complex process influenced by communication, environmental, individual, and organizational factors. Objective: To synthesize qualitative and quantitative evidence and identify key characteristics of effective interaction between patients and nurse anesthetists during the perioperative period. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify qualitative and quantitative studies examining factors influencing interaction between patients and nurse anesthetists in the perioperative setting. Results: Both facilitators and barriers to effective interaction were identified. Facilitators included respectful, patient-centered care, a supportive work environment, and clear, timely communication. Barriers included negative staff attitudes, procedural stress, interpersonal conflicts, exposure to violence, and communication challenges such as low speech volume, unclear articulation, and limited language proficiency. Effective communication was associated with improved patient safety, enhanced team cohesion, and more efficient information exchange. However, increased reliance on advanced technology may reduce patient engagement and interpersonal communication within the healthcare team. Conclusion: Nurse anesthetists play a critical role in supporting patients during potentially stressful perioperative experiences. Organizational factors, time constraints, and communication strategies may influence the quality of patient-provider interaction. Further research is needed to determine how these factors can be optimized to improve perioperative care and patient outcomes.
