Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic exerts a considerable impact on the healthcare setting and healthcare provider's personal and social life. Adjusting to an entirely new working environment may have added challenges for the nurses without having infectious disease expertise. The study aimed to understand and describe the experiences of nurses taking care of COVID-19 patients in a tertiary care Hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was conducted in a tertiary care multispecialty hospital of Udupi District, Karnataka, India. A qualitative research approach with thematic analysis was used in this study. The inclusion criteria were staff nurses caring for COVID-19 patients for a minimum of 1 week. Samples were selected by purposive sampling technique, and the data saturation was achieved with 12 participants. Data were collected through in-depth, face-to-face interviews directed by a semi-structured interview guide. The interviews were audio-recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis derived from participant's responses. Data collection and data analysis were performed simultaneously. The data were analyzed using Kiger and Vapiro's six-step process of thematic analysis of qualitative data.
