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
Animal-assisted intervention (AAI) integrates animals into health, education, and human services for therapeutic benefits. This study examined nursing students' perspectives and affinity for animals regarding AAI in pediatric care. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used, involving nursing students from a university's Health Sciences Faculty. Data were collected via a sociodemographic form and the Öney Animal Love Scale and analyzed using the R programming language. Results showed that 62.6% of participants were female, 30% were first-year students, and 18.7% owned pets. While 83.7% lacked prior AAI knowledge, 4.2% had used AAI. Despite limited awareness, 72.7% found AAI effective, and 52.2% considered it beneficial for children. A mediation analysis indicated that pet ownership positively influenced students' affinity for animals and belief in AAI's effectiveness. Prior AAI experience strengthened this relationship. In conclusion, nursing students had limited AAI knowledge but recognized its benefits. Pet ownership and prior exposure to AAI were key factors in fostering positive attitudes toward its role in pediatric care.
