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: This study aimed to evaluate the geriatric knowledge of emergency nurses and related factors. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on nursing students at Guilan University of Medical Sciences in Iran. The objective was to assess the geriatric knowledge of nurses working in the emergency departments of educational and therapeutic centers in Rasht City. The sample was selected through a census sampling method, including all nurses employed in these departments. Data collection was carried out using a three-part questionnaire, which included sections on 'personal and occupational characteristics' and the 'Questionnaire of Awareness about the Facts of Aging (FAQ)'. Results: A total of 190 emergency department nurses participated in this study. The mean age of the participants was 34.41 years (SD=6.37). The mean score for geriatric knowledge among the nurses was 6.58 (SD=2.24). No statistically significant associations were found between geriatric knowledge and the personal or occupational variables of the nurses. Also, the results showed that changes in nurses' geriatric knowledge are explained to a small extent through personal and occupational characteristics. Conclusion: Overall, these results highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve emergency nurses' understanding of geriatric care. Furthermore, given the lack of significant correlations with demographic and occupational variables, future research should investigate additional factors that may influence emergency nurses' knowledge in this area.
