Emergency department workplace violence: Clinician-endorsed strategies informing prevention mandates.
Article in Nursing outlook. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundState legislation such as the Pennsylvania Healthcare Worker Violence Prevention Act would mandate hospital reporting of workplace violence (WPV) incidents and require committees that advance safety measures. PURPOSE: Since it is unknown what interventions should be prioritized by hospital committees if such legislation were passed, we described strategies that hinder or facilitate the prevention and de-escalation of WPV.
methodsQualitative, descriptive study using individual and focus group interviews with emergency department (ED) nurses and physicians (n = 23) at a level I trauma center ED in Pennsylvania between August 2023 and February 2024. DISCUSSION: Five clinician-informed themes were identified: a) clinical protocols, b) clinician conflict in addressing WPV, c) social vulnerability in emergency care, d) resources and throughput, and e) the presence and responsibility of security.
conclusionPriority interventions included WPV clinical protocols; holding hospital administrators accountable to support clinician decision-making during WPV events, safe nurse staffing levels, and cross-disciplinary training of security personnel.
