Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
aimThis study aimed to test whether increasing psychological capital through psychological capital interventions affects anxiety and innovation among nursing staff through an experimental study.
methodThis study utilized a two-group (experimental and wait-list control) pre-test and post-test design. In August 2022, eighty clinical nurses from the same hospital were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (40) or the wait-list control group (40) to complete self-report questionnaires at pre-intervention (T1), post-intervention (T2), and one month post-intervention (T3). The experimental group received a 6-week training on the psychological capital intervention.
resultThe scores of anxiety, psychological capital, and innovative behaviour of experimental subjects in the two groups before and after the intervention showed no significant difference in between-group effects (P > 0.05). In contrast, the time effect and between-group × time effect were significant (P < 0.05), and the trends of anxiety, psychological capital and innovative behaviour over time differed between the two groups of nurses.
conclusionOnline psychological capital interventions can weaken the constraints of time and space to maximize the effective development of nursing staff's psychological capital, reduce anxiety, and improve nurses' innovative behaviors.
