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
backgroundPsychiatric nurses are in a unique position to build therapeutic relationships with mental healthcare users with dual diagnoses to foster trust and recovery. However, a dual diagnosis poses barriers to establishing and maintaining a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship.
aimThe overall aim of this study was to explore and describe barriers experienced by psychiatric nurses to facilitate therapeutic relationships with mental healthcare users with dual diagnosis in a psychiatric hospital in Limpopo province, South Africa.
designA qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design was followed.
methodSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 purposively selected participants who cared for mental healthcare users with dual diagnoses. Tech's method of open coding was used to analyse the data.
findingsDisruptive and disrespectful behaviour and mental healthcare users' substance use during hospitalisation resulted in nurses harbouring ambivalent feelings that impaired therapeutic nurse-patient relationships.
conclusionThe barriers affecting therapeutic relationships with mental healthcare users with dual diagnosis should be addressed to enhance recovery and treatment compliance. RECOMMENDATIONS: An integrated approach with the involvement of the interprofessional team, debriefing and training for nurses may help to foster therapeutic nurse-patient relationships, empower nurses and enhance the recovery of mental healthcare users with dual diagnosis.
