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 interns play a crucial role in shaping the future nursing workforce, as their professional identity is closely linked to workplace retention rates and patient outcomes. Thus, investigating the factors that influence nursing interns' professional identity is important. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between psychological capital, stress, micro-learning environment, and professional identity among nursing interns. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 388 nursing interns from 8 comprehensive teaching hospitals across five cities in Hubei Province between March and April 2024. Data were collected using a Descriptive Information Questionnaire, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, the Student Nurse Stress Index scale, the Healthcare Education Micro Learning Environment Measure, and the Professional Identity Scale. The structural equation model was applied to explore the influencing factors of nursing interns' professional identity. Results: The mean total score for professional identity was 35.57 ± 7.47. Psychological capital positively influenced professional identity directly (β = 0.16, Conclusion: The study suggests that a higher level of psychological capital, low stress levels, and a satisfied micro-learning environment are essential in fostering professional identity among nursing interns. It recommends collaboration between nursing schools and clinical departments to enhance nursing interns' psychological capital and stress management skills, creating a positive and safe working environment, thereby fostering professional identity among nursing interns.
