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: Nursing care is essential, but the role of junior male nurses in medical and health services is underestimated; thus, many junior male nurses leave the profession due to a lack of professional identity. Objective: This study examined how the mediating effect of emotional intelligence and the moderating role of locomotion mode influence the relationship between empathy and professional identity among Chinese junior male nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among junior male nurses in China from December 2021 to May 2022. We asked participants from ten hospitals to complete a questionnaire regarding empathy, emotional intelligence, locomotion mode, and professional identity. Bootstrap and simple slope methods were used to test the moderated mediation model. Results: Emotional intelligence partly mediated the effects of perspective-taking on professional identity ( Conclusion: The findings revealed that,the mediating effect of emotional intelligence on the relation between perspective-taking and professional adaptability was moderated by locomotion mode. Whereas. These findings are meaningful for early intervention and the improvement of professional identity among junior male nurses.
