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

Aim: This study aims to establish a standardized training indicator system for cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) specialized nurses based on competency theory, so as to provide practical guidance for improving their core competencies and guaranteeing high-quality care for critically ill patients. Methods: The training indicator system was developed through literature review, semi-structured qualitative interviews and Delphi method. Literature review was conducted to extract competency dimensions and indicators covering professional knowledge, professional skills, professional competence and practical competence; semi-structured qualitative interviews with clinical and educational specialists were further carried out to develop an initial training indicator system with 4 primary, 19 secondary and 60 tertiary indicators. Followed by two rounds of Delphi consultation, 23 experts specializing in CICU Medicine, CICU nursing management, CICU clinical nursing, and nursing education were invited to participate. Indicators were retained when importance score >3.50 and coefficient of variation <0.25. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the weights of indicators at different levels. Results: Both two rounds of expert surveys achieved a 100% response rate, with expert authority coefficients of 0.884 and 0.894, respectively. The Kendall's ranged from 0.241 to 0.247 ( Conclusion: This competency-oriented CICU specialized nurse training indicator system possesses favorable scientificity and operability, and can serve as a reference for standardized professional development.
