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
objectivesThe present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical competence and its related demographic factors among critical care nurses in Kermanshah, Iran.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 155 Iranian nurses were selected by stratified random sampling. The data collection tools included a personal information form and the "Nurse Competence Scale". Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics.
resultsThe mean score of nurses' clinical competence was equal to 76.14 ± 1.59 out of 100, which was at a "very good level". The mean score of using clinical competence in practice was equal to 70.38 ± 15.25 out of 100, which was at a "good level". Among the subscales of clinical competence, the highest mean score was related to "managing situation". The mean score of "using clinical competence in practice" was related to the subscale of "therapeutic interventions". There was no statistically significant difference among the score of clinical competence of nurses varying with different gender, age, academic degree, and work experience.
conclusionsThe clinical competence of critical care nurses in Kermanshah was at a "very good" level, and the use of clinical competence in practice was at a "good level." Given the importance of clinical competencies in practice, nurses' clinical competence should be evaluated objectively and positive measures should be taken to promote the application of their clinical competence.
