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/
objectivesThe use of coercive measures (CMs) and security technologies (STs) in mental healthcare continues to raise ethical and practical concerns, affecting both patient and staff well-being. Mental health nurses (MHNs) and nursing students (NSs) play a key role in the decision-making process regarding these interventions. However, their attitudes, particularly toward STs, remain underexplored in Italy. This study protocol aims to introduce a new conceptual framework and investigate Italian MHNs' and NSs' attitudes toward CMs and STs in mental health settings. Additionally, it will explore the influence of sociodemographic and psychological factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, stigma, and humanization on these attitudes.
methodsThe research will be conducted in two phases. Phase 1 involves a national survey of a convenience sample of MHNs and NSs to assess their attitudes and related factors. Phase 2 includes qualitative interviews with a purposive sample of MHNs and NSs to explore participants' perspectives on STs in more depth. Quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data will be examined through thematic analysis.
conclusionsThis study protocol seeks to enhance our understanding of MHNs' and NSs' attitudes toward the use of CMs and STs in mental health settings, identifying key factors influencing these attitudes. The findings aim to inform policy development, education programs, and clinical practices in both the Italian and international panoramas. Additionally, the proposed conceptual framework could guide future research in this field.
