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
backgroundBelongingness is considered an important factor contributing to a clinical learning environment for good learning outcomes and higher levels of satisfaction among nursing students. This study investigated the mediating influence of a sense of belonging on the relationship between the clinical learning environment and perceived stress.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 455 internship nursing students from August to November 2023. Data were collected using the Belongingness Scale-Clinical Placement Experience, Perceived Stress Scale, Clinical Learning Environment Scale, and Supervision Scale.
resultsThe mean of nursing internship students' belongingness was 121.27 ± 14.95. The majority of participants had moderate stress levels (83.3%). The direct effects analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the clinical learning environment, supervision, and perceived stress (β = - 0.484, p < .001). Clinical learning environment and supervision had a positive direct effect on belongingness (β = 0.499, p < .001). Belongingness had a negative effect on perceived stress (β = - 0.163, p = .003). According to further indirect effect analysis (β = - 0.081, p = .003), the association between the clinical learning environment and supervision-perceived stress was mediated by belongingness. Overall, the results showed that felt stress was considerably affected by the clinical learning setting and supervision (β = - 0.565, p < .001).
conclusionA sense of belonging is a critical factor for alleviating the impact of an overwhelming environment. These findings emphasize the need to provide a positive environment that promotes the health of internship nursing students. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
