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
backgroundClinical nursing practice has a significant meaning and role in nursing education. Efficient clinical nursing practices under the guidance of clinical nursing teachers can promote patient safety and healthcare quality. This study aimed to investigate the profiles of clinical nursing teachers' role stress, determine whether sociodemographic factors and psychological capital correlate with different role stress profiles. It also examined the relationship between different role stress profiles and work engagement.
designCross-sectional study.
methodsA total of 412 clinical nursing teachers were enrolled in China through convenience sampling. The Role Stress Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Work Engagement Scale, and sociodemographic questionnaire were used. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted by using Mplus version 8.0 to identify the different role stress profiles of clinical nursing teachers. Univariate and multivariate unordered logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with the profiles.
resultsFour hundred and six valid questionnaires were returned. The findings of latent profile analysis showed three profiles: low role stress-high lack of teaching resources profile (34.3%), moderate role stress profile (57.0%), and high role stress-low lack of teaching resources profile (11.7%). Multivariate unordered logistic regression showed that clinical nursing teachers with lower education levels, contract employment, regular qualification audits, and lower psychological capital scores were more likely to belong to Profiles 2 and 3 when Profile 1 was used as a reference. The analysis of variance revealed that the work engagement scores of Profile 3 were significantly lower than those of Profiles 1 and 2.
conclusionsClinical nursing teachers reported heterogeneous sociodemographic and psychological capital, with significant differences in the degree of role stress between the identified profiles. Targeted interventions should be provided according to the role stress profiles to improve work engagement.
