1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionRecently, moral distress in pediatric nursing has gained academic attention, yet comprehensive literature reviews on this group are scarce.

aimsThis study aims to offer a detailed overview of moral distress among pediatric nurses, focusing on understanding its characteristics, prevalence, underlying causes, and consequences on the quality of patient care.

methodsEmploying a scoping review approach as recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute, this study will systematically search through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, APA PsycInfo, and CINAHL databases using specific search strategies. Titles, abstracts, and full texts will be independently screened by two reviewers according to the eligibility criteria. Relevant data will be extracted, categorized, and subjected to narrative synthesis to draw comprehensive insights.

conclusionThe anticipated findings of this study will shed light on the nature, frequency, and drivers of moral distress among pediatric nurses, along with its broader implications for healthcare practitioners, organizational practices, and patient care outcomes.
