The role of nursing communication: A critical interpretive synthesis.
Review in International journal of nursing studies advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aim: The primary aim of this paper is to explore and interpret the Background: The need for Methods: A Critical Interpretive Synthesis approach was used to interpret the role of nursing communication in patient care. Electronic searches of Results: Five synthetic constructs clarify the role of nursing communication and contribute to the final conceptual framework: 1) ongoing holistic engagement, 2) humble guide supporting the patient's itinerary, 3) effective information exchange, 4) maintaining nursing individuality within an existing system, and 5) nursing presence. Conclusion: The role of nursing communication emphasizes maintaining a nursing presence that communicates high-quality physical care and ongoing holistic engagement centered around the patient's values, needs, and wishes. This conceptual framework prioritizes the unique nurse-patient communicatory relationship and gives nurse researchers, policymakers, and educators a new way of thinking about and prioritizing the role of nursing communication.
