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

objectiveTo compare the advanced practice nursing development in primary health care in Brazil and Germany focusing on institutional, historical, and educational factors.

methodsWe conducted a qualitative comparative study combining the analysis of policy documents, literature and secondary data on health systems.

resultsIn Brazil, long-standing academic nursing education, established responsibilities, and ongoing debates support advanced practice nursing development, although the absence of a regulatory framework remains a barrier. In Germany, its development reflects a vocational-based nursing tradition and a relatively recent shift toward academization, with few advanced practice nursing master's study programs. A physician-centered primary care model and insufficient legal regulations constrain implementation, despite growing political momentum.

conclusionsAdvanced practice nursing development is country - and context-specific, meaning there is no one-size-fits-all model; rather, implementation should align with institutional structures, educational pathways, and professional role developments. Effective implementation requires context-sensitive strategies across multiple levels of the health system.
