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
backgroundThe evidence indicates a phenomenon of ethical erosion in healthcare students. Variables like empathy and spiritual health might affect moral sensitivity in nursing students. The present study is an attempt to predict the moral sensitivity of nursing students based on empathy and spiritual health. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out at Saveh University of Medical Sciences, Saveh, Iran, in 2023. In total, 110 nursing students were included in the study by census method. Data gathering was done using Ellison and Paloutzian spiritual health inventory, Jefferson's empathy inventory, and Lutzen's moral sensitivity scale. The collected data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis.
resultsThe mean scores of empathy, spiritual health, and moral sensitivity in nursing students were equal to 99.8 ± 15.25, 81.32 ± 10.01, and 65.09 ± 12.23 respectively. Empathy and spiritual health were positively and significantly related to moral sensitivity (
