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: Patient-centered care, which emphasizes clinical narrative competence of nurses, is receiving increasing attention. However, there is limited evidence indicating the level of clinical narrative competence of nurses. This study aimed to explore the current situation and associated factors of the clinical narrative competence of nurses in selected hospitals in Guangxi, China. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 316 nurses from seven affiliated hospitals of Guangxi Medical University and Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection through an online survey platform. T-tests and one-way ANOVA were utilized to determine significant differences for the variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to explore the significant variables associated with the clinical narrative competence of nurses. Results: Univariate analysis showed that everal factors were significantly associated with clinical narrative competence ( Conclusion: Attitudes towards narrative medicine were significantly associated with the clinical narrative competence of nurses. It is suggested that the knowledge and skills related to narrative medicine and narrative nursing should be incorporated into the core competence development of nurses. Moreover, it is necessary to gradually introduce narrative nursing practice into clinical nursing. These measures may enhance nurses' clinical narrative competence and provide high-quality nursing services to patients.
