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
The aim of this study is to examine the influence of nurses' workload and years of experience on the rate of patients with normal calcium-phosphorus products levels and the adequacy evaluation grade of hemodialysis (HD) facilities using 2015 and 2018 national HD adequacy evaluation data. The data of 616 hospital-level outpatient HD facilities were analyzed using multiple linear regression and ordinal logistic regression. A higher rate of nurses with ≥2 years of HD experience was correlated with a higher rate of patients with normal calcium-phosphorus levels. As the average daily number of HD cases per nurse increased, the probability of HD facilities' receiving the higher adequacy evaluation grade decreased by 83% (odds ratio (OR)=.17, 95% confidence interval (CI)=.14-.22), whereas it increased by 4% as the rate of nurses with ≥2 years of HD experience increased by 1%p (OR=1.04, 95% CI=1.03-1.05). Reducing the nursing workload by maintaining sufficient nurses and increasing the rate of nurses with ≥2 years of HD experience would improve the quality of HD and patient outcomes.
