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: The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the shortage of nursing staff, contributed to higher levels of stress. Sustained stress has been associated with burnout. However, nurses have traditionally demonstrated resourcefulness skills that resulted in building resilience. Observations: This pilot project recruited US Department of Veterans (VA) registered and advanced practice nurses to participate in a resourcefulness skills training initiative. VA nurses were found to have a moderate level of burnout at baseline. Nurses participated in Resourcefulness Training to handle stress and possible burnout. Resourcefulness Training themes included accessing family and peer support, developing organizational and problem-solving skills, and using distraction. Conclusions: Nurses must be vigilant in appraising and managing their ability to cope and adapt to individual stress, while also being aware of their colleagues' stress levels. Educational institutions, professional organizations, and health care facilities must strive to educate and support nurses in identifying stress and healthy coping mechanisms. In this project, relying on family and peers emerged as an important resourcefulness skill.
