Reducing disparities in emergency department outcomes for individuals with limited English proficiency: The nurse work environment.
Article in Nursing outlook. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundPatients with limited English proficiency (LEP) experience worse emergency department (ED) outcomes. PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between nurses' work environments and ED outcomes among individuals with and without LEP.
methodsCross-sectional study of 1,358,802 patients seen in 64 New Jersey hospital EDs. Nurse work environment was measured by the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index. Outcomes included 72-hr ED revisits, and departures against medical advice (AMA). DISCUSSION: Individuals with LEP experienced higher odds of a 72-hr ED revisit (aOR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21, p < .001) and lower odds of AMA departure (aOR 0.67, 95% CI, 0.61-0.74, p < .001). An interaction was found between LEP status and the nurse work environment: individuals with LEP experienced lower odds of a 72-hr ED revisit in better vs. poor nurse work environments, compared those without LEP.
conclusionDisparities in LEP outcomes might be ameliorated by targeted improvements to nurses' work environments.
