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: The internship period for nursing students; the period of transition from nursing students to professional nurses who could work at different health organizations. Whereas the intern nurses were nurses who had achieved the required courses within the nursing department program and ready to join the internship nurses' program. Hence, it is of paramount importance to gain experience with various nursing skills, but it faces many obstacles and challenges including but not limited to organizing movement between departments and units, communicating with practitioners, and follow-up and coordination between colleges and hospitals. The current study aimed to assess the challenges and difficulties during the nursing internship program. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in the Asir region of Saudi Arabia, which included four hospitals. The study adopted the convenient sampling method accordingly, the number of participants was 112 (19 intern nurses (the trainees), 93 preceptors (trainers)). The data was collected through a questionnaire designed by the researcher and reviewed by the study team. The questionnaire consists of 5 domains (administrative procedures, organizational procedures, nursing procedures, challenges faced by the preceptors, and communication barriers). Results: The results of the study in general showed most of the participants strongly agreed with the administrative procedures average (Mean 4.45), for the rest of the other four domains the participants agreed on the average range (Mean 4.0-4.1). Conclusion: The overall high scores across domains reflect a generally well-received training program, with strong administrative and regulatory procedures. The preceptors' impression of the administrative procedures during the internship was very good (Mean 4.45), however, they faced difficulties in nursing procedures, especially regarding assigning non-nursing tasks to the interns' nurse, as well as barriers in communication due to the busyness of trainers.
