Alarm Management Competence in Clinical Nursing Practice: An Evolutionary Concept Analysis.
Review in Journal of nursing management, 2026. 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
aimsTo clarify the defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences of alarm management competence in clinical nursing practice and to develop a conceptual definition and framework.
backgroundClinical alarms are integral to patient monitoring, yet effective alarm management requires more than technical device operation. Alarm-related knowledge, skills, judgment, behaviors, and fatigue have been examined across the literature, but the concept of alarm management competence remains insufficiently defined. EVALUATION: Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis was conducted. PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception to August 2026, supplemented by searches of relevant professional-organization websites and citation searching. A total of 28 sources were included. KEY ISSUES: Seven defining attributes were synthesized: foundational clinical knowledge for alarm management, alarm perception and discrimination, clinical decision-making, technical skills for alarm equipment operation, interprofessional collaboration and communication, alarm fatigue resilience, and professional development capacity. Six antecedents and three domains of potential consequences were identified. These findings were integrated into a conceptual definition and framework of alarm management competence.
conclusionAlarm management competence is a dynamic, multidimensional clinical nursing competence that extends beyond alarm-related knowledge or device operation and integrates cognitive, perceptual, technical, collaborative, resilience-related, and developmental dimensions. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The conceptual framework can inform competency development, education, alarm governance, and organizational support for nurses' alarm management practice.
