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
backgroundOne of the essential dimensions of managerial competencies is moral competence. The purpose of this study was to explain the factors that facilitate the acquisition of moral competence in nursing managers in Iranian culture. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis qualitative study employed a content analysis approach to investigate the viewpoints and experiences of 14 nursing managers working in educational medical centers across Iran, Golestan province in 2023. Participants were purposefully sampled to ensure maximum diversity in terms of age, work experience, management experience, educational background, professional position, and gender. Data collection involved conducting 18 in-depth interviews, utilizing both nonstructured and semistructured formats. Subsequent data analysis employed contractual content analysis techniques, facilitated by coding using MAXQDA software version 20. To ensure the trustworthiness and credibility of the findings, Lincoln and Guba's criteria were rigorously applied.
resultsThe data analysis resulted in the extraction of 18 subcategories and 5 main categories. The main categories included: interactive learning, inspiration from the model, social-cultural learning environment, multimedia education, and an excellent organizational climate.
conclusionIn this study, several facilitating factors were identified in the acquisition of moral competence of nursing managers. It is recommended to use these factors as a framework for acquiring and improving the moral competencies of nursing managers in order to face ethical issues, make informed decisions, and create an ethical climate in the organization.
