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.

methodWhittemore and Knafl's method guided this integrative review. Database searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, EBSCO, Embase and Web of Science's Core Collection. The initial search took place on April 12, 2022, with complementary searches on November 11, 2024.

resultsFour categories emerged from the analysis of the 18 included studies. These categories encompassed the intrapersonal prerequisites of the operating room nurses, interpersonal prerequisites within the operating room team, adherence to guidelines and supportive conditions.

conclusionsPrerequisites for infection prevention interventions during the intraoperative phase included the professional competence of operating room nurses, a supportive team and sufficient resources provided by management, such as adequate equipment and time for planning and implementation. Ensuring patient safety requires operating room nurses to embrace their leadership roles and adhere to evidence-based recommendations. REPORTING

methodThe PRISMA 2020 statement.
