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

objectivesto map safe practices in intravenous drug therapy in hospitalized adult patients described in the scientific literature.

methodsScoping review according to JBI, with the question: "What are the practices for safe administration of intravenous drug therapy in hospitalized adults?". Searches were conducted in four information resources and grey literature. Duplicates were removed in Endnote and studies were selected in Rayyan, according to eligibility criteria. The data were presented according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Review.

resultsEighteen studies were analyzed, and the evidence was grouped into the following stages: 1) Aseptic techniques; 2) Preparation; 3) Labeling; 4) Administration; 5) Recording. The following were highlighted as safe practices: hand hygiene, double checking, identification of medications and patients, verification of access permeability, recording of administration, and adverse events.

conclusionsadopting safe practices during intravenous drug therapy is a fundamental strategy for the safety of hospitalized adult patients.
