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.

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
objectivesWork-family conflict is a growing problem worldwide, because of changing work-family demographic trends and the spread of technology. Empathy, as the ability to understand and share the feelings of other people, is the essential component of emotional intelligence that plays a crucial role in healthcare settings. This study aimed to assess the level of emotional empathy and investigate its relationship with work-family role conflicts among dental medicine doctors. Materials and methods: In this study participated 589 doctors of dental medicine from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The questionnaire included general and demographic data, the Emotional Empathy Scale questionnaire and the Work and Family Role Conflict Assessment Scale questionnaire. Results: The research results indicate no significant association between empathy and conflict between work and family roles (R = 0.032, p = 0.435). Women have achieved significantly higher scores in Emotional Empathy Scale (p ≤ 0.001), while there was no difference in Work and Family Role Conflict Assessment Scale according to gender (p = 0.194). A difference in emotional empathy was observed depending on where the respondents were employed (p = 0.045) and depending on the specialisation of the dental medicine (p = 0.021). Conclusion: Female doctors of dental medicine demonstrated higher emotional empathy while the work-family role conflict is experienced equally by both genders.
