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
introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted stress levels across various professions, particularly in the medical field. This increase in stress has also affected medical students, including nursing students, who faced unprecedented and challenging circumstances. Nursing students, in particular, experienced added pressure due to observing the frontline experiences of nurses and the new demands placed upon them.
aimThis study aimed to assess whether the COVID-19 pandemic affected an increase in stress levels among nursing students in Poland during the pandemic. We also attempt to determine whether there is a correlation between the stress level of students and factors such as gender, age, place of residence, marital status, and level of education. Assuming that the stress level will be higher among women of increasing age and bachelor's students, we also assumed, however, that lower stress levels would occur among people in relationships and living in the countryside. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was conducted from 27 April 2022 to 12 May 2022. We chose that period as it was the final one of the COVID-19 pandemic, and there was an increasing amount of discussion concerning its cessation, with the public accustomed to its presence in our everyday lives. Since we wanted to determine the stress level experienced by students, we decided to use the standardized Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). We enriched the study with sociodemographic questions to investigate the potential impact of these characteristics on the degree of stress experienced.
resultsThe average score obtained by respondents on the PSS-10 was 19.57 ± 6.03. Of the respondents, 49% reported experiencing a high level of stress. No statistically significant differences were found between the mean PSS-10 scores and the gender (Z = 0.169;
conclusionsThe study indicated that nursing students experience high stress levels regardless of gender, age, marital status, place of residence, or level of education. High stress levels were reported among both bachelor's and master's students.
