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
Background and Aims: Clinical ethics is defined as recognizing and resolving value conflicts that arise from providing care in medical centers. This study aimed to evaluate the practice of clinical ethics in Iranian hospitals with a 360° approach. Methods: The study was conducted by employing a descriptive-analytical method in 2019. The statistical population included staff, patients, and managers of public, private, and insurance hospitals in Mazandaran province. The sample size for each group was 317, 729, and 36, respectively. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The appearance and content validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by expert opinion and construct validity was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoc test. We used SPSS software version 21 to analyse the data. Results: The obtained mean score of clinical ethics from the perspective of service providers (0.56 ± 4.45) was higher than the perspective of service presenters (4.35 ± 0.65) and service recipients (0.79 ± 4.22), which was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, the level of clinical ethics in the hospitals of Mazandaran province is favorable, and among the dimensions of clinical ethics, respect for patient rights gained the lowest score and communication with other colleagues gained the highest score. Therefore, informing and teaching medical professionals in the field of clinical ethics, formulating binding laws, and paying serious attention to this issue in ranking and accrediting hospitals are recommended.
