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
This study evaluated the knowledge and anxiety levels of nurses in Türkiye regarding human monkeypox virus (Mpox) infection and explored related factors such as institutional training and preparedness. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2024 and January 2025 with 214 actively employed nurses. Data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, a nurse introduction form, a form assessing thoughts about Mpox, a knowledge assessment form, and the Epidemic Anxiety Scale (EAS). The mean epidemic anxiety score was 48.36 ± 19.26, with significantly higher anxiety levels among female nurses. Greater Mpox knowledge was associated with higher job satisfaction, access to institutional information, and participation in training. Fear of infection, fear of transmitting the virus, and fear of losing loved ones significantly influenced knowledge levels. Each unit increase in perceived information adequacy was associated with a 6.56-point rise in knowledge scores. The findings reveal a substantial knowledge gap about Mpox among nurses in Türkiye, which may hinder outbreak preparedness. Strengthening educational initiatives and integrating epidemic management into nursing curricula are essential to improving nurses' readiness and protecting public health.
