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
aimThis study aimed to investigate U.S. minority nursing staff's discrimination experiences and the association of such experiences and other critical factors with their quality of life (QoL) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
backgroundRacial/ethnic minority nursing staff are at a higher risk of developing unfavorable health outcomes associated with race-based and related discrimination.
methodsMinority nursing staff were recruited through a professional network. An online survey, consisting of validated measures, was used to assess perceived discrimination, fear of COVID-19, perceived risk of contracting COVID-19, resilience, social support, and QoL. We used the chi-square test, ANOVA, and path analysis to compare racial/ethnic group differences and variables associated with QoL among minority nursing staff.
resultsOur sample consisted of 514 minority nursing staff (31.4% Black, 25.5% Hispanic/Latinx, 17.0% Asian, 13.5% American Indian/Alaska Native, and 12.7% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander). The sample reported a high prevalence of discrimination experiences (60% witnessed, 28.3% experienced). Greater exposure to witnessed discrimination, higher levels of perceived risk of contracting COVID-19, and fear of COVID-19 were associated with worse QoL, whereas higher levels of resilience and social support were associated with better QoL. Multiple group analysis revealed no significant differences in these outcomes across the racial/ethnic groups.
conclusionOur findings revealed that while discrimination, fear, and perceived risk were negatively related to minority nursing staff's QoL, resilience and social support were crucial in promoting their QoL, with no significant differences observed across racial/ethnic groups. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: The findings highlight the importance of individual-, organizational-, and policy-level awareness of vulnerability related to racial/ethnic discrimination and areas that should be addressed to promote minority nursing staff's QoL.
