Patient-needs-enhanced emergency nursing assessment framework accelerates time-critical care for non-traumatic chest pain.

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
Background: Non-traumatic chest pain requires rapid Emergency Department (ED) triage, yet adherence to ECG ≤10 min and early troponin targets is inconsistent, standard nursing frameworks seldom prompt patient-needs that affect timeliness and documentation. The aim of this study is to determine whether implementing a patient-needs-enhanced Emergency Nursing Assessment Framework (ENAF), compared with usual care, increases the proportion of ED patients with non-traumatic chest pain receiving a 12-lead ECG within 10 min. Methods: This prospective single-center quasi-experimental before-after study was conducted in the T Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2023 to January 2025 and assigned to a control group and ENAF group. The ENAF group comprised (1) eight hours of nurse training, (2) an ENAF electronic template incorporating mandatory pain, anxiety, information-need and social-support items, and (3) a triage "rapid chest-pain kit". The primary endpoint was completion of a 12-lead ECG within 10 min of triage; secondary endpoints were door-to-troponin time, ≥2-point pain reduction at 30 min, documentation completeness, ED length of stay (LOS) and 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, HEART score, arrival mode and peak ED census. Results: Of 372 screened patients, 340 met eligibility and were analyzed (170 control, 170 ENAF). Timely ECG completion increased from 60.0% to 78.2% (adjusted odds ratio 2.31, 95% CI: 1.47-3.63; Conclusions: Augmenting ENAF with a structured clinical-needs module significantly accelerates ECG acquisition, improves other process metrics and enhances nursing documentation while maintaining patient safety. Adoption of this nurse-led approach could strengthen ED chest-pain pathways in comparable resource-constrained settings, and multicenter validation are warranted to establish generalizability.
