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
backgroundMonkeypox has emerged as a global health concern, necessitating preventive measures and awareness among healthcare students. Understanding nursing students' fears, concerns, and preventive practices regarding Monkeypox can help improve preparedness and response strategies.
aimThis study aimed to assess the levels of fear, concerns, and preventive practices related to monkeypox among nursing students at Beni Suef University, Egypt, during the 2024-2025 academic year.
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive design was employed, involving 505 nursing students systematically randomized recruited. Data collection utilized three validated tools: the Monkeypox Fear Scale, Monkeypox Concern Scale, and Monkeypox Preventive Practices Scale. Reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.87 to 0.94. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression using SPSS Version 23.
resultsMost (56.2%) students rarely worried about Monkeypox infection, though 49.2% reported anxiety influenced by media coverage. High preventive practices were noted, with 60.6% frequently practicing hygiene measures. A strong positive correlation between Monkeypox concern and fear (r = 0.646, p < 0.001) and a moderate positive correlation between Monkeypox concern and preventive practices (r = 0.229, p = 0.001). Fear was also significantly correlated with preventive practices (r = 0.432, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis (R² = 0.216, F = 22.633, p < 0.001) revealed that fear was a strong positive predictor of preventive practices, while Monkeypox concern had a positive but non-significant effect (B = 0.138, p = 0.156). Age was not a significant predictor (B = 0.251, p = 0.637), whereas family income showed a significant negative association (B = -1.885, p = 0.010).
conclusionThe study revealed moderate fear and concerns among nursing students, with generally high adherence to preventive practices. IMPLICATION: Findings suggest the need for targeted health education programs to address monkeypox-related concerns and enhance preventive measures, thus improving nursing students' readiness to respond to emerging health threats.
