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
aimThis study aimed to explore the factors associated with attitudes towards the older adults among nursing students, to clarify the impact of empathy and end-of-life care on the attitude of the older adults, and to provide a basis for the follow-up of education courses related to older adults care and the training of older adults care talents.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsA cross-sectional survey on nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards older adults was conducted from 24 December 2020-24 February 2021. The Chinese versions of the end-of-life Attitudes Scale, Jefferson Empathy Scale-Nursing Version and Kogan Attitudes Scale for the Elderly were used for this cross-sectional study. We used the purposive sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey on nursing students at Heilongjiang Nursing College (n = 371, effective response rate: 64.52%).
resultsThe average score of FATCOD-B was 99.04 (7.71), and the score of C-JSE-HPS was 100.67 (12.90). The total average score of nursing students' attitudes towards older adults was 139.91 (15.79). The hierarchical regression analysis showed that education (β = -.125, p = .025) and personal experience (β = -.132, p = .008) correlated negatively with attitudes towards the older adults, while the end-of-life care (β = .140, p = .013) and empathy (β = .285, p < .001) correlated positively with attitudes towards the older adults.
conclusionsReligion, end-of-life care and empathy were positively correlated with nursing students' attitudes towards older adults. It is necessary to set up end-of-life care, empathy and education related to the older adults, and combine a variety of training forms, increasing humanistic assessments and reducing the employment pressure on nursing students by relevant departments can improve their attitudes towards the older adults.
