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
backgroundWith the increasing incidence of violence against women (VAW), emergency department (ED) nurses should be trained to respond appropriately to victims of VAW (VVAW). However, the psychological preparedness of nurses caring for VVAW and its relationship to nurse gender remains unclear in Japan.
methodsA nationwide self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among 430 randomly selected certified emergency nurses. The questionnaire was a Japanese translation of the evaluation tools from the World Health Organization (WHO) curriculum "Caring for women subjected to violence: a WHO curriculum for training healthcare providers."
resultsThe final sample included 104 participants, and the effective response rate was 24.2%. More than 60% of nurses had experience in caring for VVAW; however, only 10% had received training concerning VAW. The mean number of VVAW cared for by these nurses was 6.2 (standard deviation, 6.1) with no significant difference in nurse gender (P=0.52, effect size [ES]=0.09). Male nurses had a higher mean score of psychological preparedness than female nurses (22.6 vs. 20.4; P=0.03, ES=0.22); moreover, female nurses scored lower than male nurses on all items of the psychological preparedness evaluation. Less than half of the participants reported having institutional support systems.
conclusionsEstablishing an education program for all emergency nurses, providing support to ensure the psychological preparedness of female emergency nurses, and ensuring improvement of facilities nationwide are essential for enhancing nursing care for VVAW in Japanese EDs.
