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/
objectivesClimate change increases the vulnerability of regions, communities, and individuals, stressing the urgent requirement to prepare health professionals in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. To foster sustainable and resilient communities, it is essential to integrate disaster preparedness into health education and practice. By equipping nurses with essential knowledge and skills, healthcare systems can be better prepared to respond to the challenges of climate change and disasters, contributing to safer and more resilient urban environments. This study aims to identify the factors that determine nurses' preparedness for disaster situations.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted through digital platforms among 230 nurses across the Azores to assess their preparedness for disaster management. A structured questionnaire, adapted from the validated Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET©), was administered to registered nurses affiliated with the Nursing Council. The sample was chosen for convenience, and data were analyzed using IBM
resultsThe findings revealed concerns about nurses' disaster response, with 70% of participants indicating low ability. While knowledge was relatively strong (M = 5.50, SD = 1.07), practical competence showed a moderate score (3.51, SD = 1.797). Additional education is necessary in areas such as family preparation (M = 2.58, SD = 1.569), patient management during responses (M = 3.43, SD = 1.312), disaster-specific knowledge (M = 2.95, SD = 1.45), and recovery management (M = 2.53, SD = 1.363).
conclusionsDespite increased knowledge and awareness of climate change and its global impact, there is a need for more meaningful nursing interventions to minimize the impact of climate change on the community. This study highlights that nurses have an in-depth knowledge of communities' needs, which puts them in a unique position to influence disaster preparation and response. By developing these strategies, nurses contribute significantly to communities' resilience in climate change, improving society's ability to respond and adapt to these challenges.
