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
backgroundCaring in nursing helps patients feel better, whilst the absence of caring will affect patients psychologically, emotionally and physically.
aimThe aim of this article was to explore and describe primary health care (PHC) professional nurses' and PHC nurse managers' perceptions of the developed strategies to facilitate effective caring for patients in PHC clinics.
settingThis study was conducted in two PHC clinics in Ekurhuleni, an area east of the Gauteng province, South Africa.
methodsThe study used a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design. In-depth individual phenomenological interviews were conducted with eight purposively selected PHC professional nurses working in PHC clinics and two PHC nurse managers supervising PHC clinics in Ekurhuleni. Giorgi's coding method was used to analyse the data.
resultsThree themes were identified from the results of the exploration and description of PHC professional nurses' and PHC nurse managers' perceptions of the developed strategies. The use of active listening skills, showing interest in what is being said, asking questions and providing constructive feedback that focuses on the issue were the most effective strategies in improving effective communication between PHC nurse managers and PHC professional nurses. The PHC professional nurses were encouraged to put patients' interests first whilst adhering to the ethical principles of nursing.
conclusionAlthough caring is considered as the core of nursing practice, PHC professional nurses and PHC nurse managers perceive that rendering effective caring for patients needs to be reinforced through the use of strategies that will enable change and improve clinical practice in PHC clinics.
