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

backgroundThe nursing home is a multifaceted environment where residents, many of whom have multiple chronic conditions, typically spend their final years receiving care. Being a nurse in a nursing home is a challenging and multifaceted role that demands a range of skills. The study aimed to explore the experiences of nursing home nurses, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to be a nurse in a nursing home, both professionally and personally.

methodsSeventeen nurses working in nursing homes in Ankara, Turkey were recruited between June and Agust 2024 for a descriptive phenomenological study. Data were collected through in-depth face-to-face interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The study was reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research Checklist.

findingsSix themes emerged from descriptive analysis "Transformation", "Wish to Die Before Experiencing Aging", "Needs and Shortcomings in Older Adults Care", "Communication Challenges", "Struggles with Professional Fulfillment", "Perspectives on Aging in Residential Care".

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that working with older adults in nursing homes can be highly stressful for nurses, potentially leading to negative effects on their professional and personal experiences.
