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
backgroundAbuse of older people is a major public health problem. Although nurses are recognized as playing a crucial role in responding to elder abuse, it tends to be under-recognized and under-reported in Iranian hospitals The present study aimed to measure the level of public and legal triage nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward abuse of older people.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 nurses working in teaching hospitals, from May to October 2022. Data collection tools were background information questionnaires and questionnaires on nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding elder abuse. A convenient sampling method was used in this study. The link to the questionnaires was sent electronically through the nurses' hospital groups on WhatsApp online software. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. Mean and standard deviation were used for nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice, and Pearson's correlation was used for the relationship and correlation between nurses' knowledge, attitude, and performance. Significance level 0.05 considered.
resultsThe mean age of the participating nurses was 33.8 ± 5.21 years. Based on the results, the mean scores of nurses' general knowledge were 5.59 ± 1.35, legal knowledge was 3.52 ± 1.79, attitude was 43.06 ± 6.57, and practice regarding elder abuse was 12.49 ± 5.57. results showed a direct and significant relationship between nurses' general knowledge of elder abuse and knowledge of physical elder abuse (P < 0.001). A strong and significant direct relationship was also observed between nurses' knowledge of elder neglect and financial elder abuse (P < 0.001).
conclusionNurses' general knowledge, attitude, and practice towards elder abuse were lower than the mean. Based on the significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with nurses' performance in the area of elder abuse, it is recommended that quality educational content be included in continuing education programs for nurses. To achieve the goals of changing nurses' behavior, it is suggested that nursing education programs and curricula include the issue of elder abuse, its diagnosis, and reporting.
