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
introductionOne of the most important but underappreciated roles of nurses is patient advocacy. To advocate for patients effectively, the nurses should have a favorable attitude towards patient advocacy. Despite this fact, the nurses' attitude towards patient advocacy was not known in Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to assess nurses' attitude towards patient advocacy and its associated factors in East Gojjam Zone Public Hospitals, Northwest in 2023.
methodsInstitutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 385 nurses in East Gojjam Zone Public Hospitals from March 1 to April 30, 2023. Nurses were selected using simple random sampling techniques from 11 public hospitals. The data were collected in a self-administered way. Binary logistic regression was used for data analysis. All independent variables having a P value of < 0.25 in the bivariable logistic regression were fitted into a multivariable logistic regression. The AOR at a 95% confidence interval was used to identify the strength of the association, and a p value of 0.05 was used to declare it statistically significant at the final model.
resultA total of 385 nurses participated in the study, for a 91% response rate. Among these, 49.9% of nurses had an unfavorable attitude. Being working in a primary hospital [AOR = 2.3; 95% CI: (1.4-3.8)], poor cooperation of nurses [AOR = 1.7; 95% CI: (1.1-2.8)], being unsatisfied with the job [AOR = 1.7; 95% CI: (1.1-2.7)], and poor perceived supervision of work [AOR = 6.2; 95% CI: (3.7-9.8)] were factors associated with nurses' attitudes towards patient advocacy.
conclusionThe number of nurses who had an unfavorable attitude towards patient advocacy was high. Working in a primary hospital, poor cooperation with others, being dissatisfied with the job, and having an unfavorable perception towards the supervision of work were the factors associated with the unfavorable attitude of nurses towards patient advocacy. It is recommended that all hospitals better support the nurses to increase their job satisfaction and have good supervision of the nurses' activities.
