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: Caring in a critical care environment may be conceptualised differently compared with other nursing disciplines because of the patient's critical condition and the specialised staffing categories and skills. However, critical care nurses who prioritise caring can meaningfully connect with critically ill patient and their families, resulting in positive healthcare outcomes. Objectives: To assess critical care nurses' orientations to caring for critically ill patient and their families. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 139 purposively sampled critical care nurses working in a tertiary referral hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Data were collected using the Caring Assessment for Caregivers questionnaire, and analysis included descriptive and comparative statistics. Results: The overall mean score of critical care nurses' orientations to caring was 116.01 (range of 25 - 125). Of the five subscales (dimensions), the dimension of ' Conclusion: While critical care nurses reported high overall orientations to caring, lower mean scores on the subscale ' Contribution of the study: The study aims to highlight the orientations of critical care nurses to different areas of caring. In so doing management can provide specific support to nurses to strengthen their caring abilities.
