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
backgroundThere is limited research on the psychological impact of COVID-19 and resilience among critical care nurses in Arab countries. This study assessed psychological distress, including stress, anxiety, depression, and resilience, among Jordanian critical care nurses following the pandemic's second wave.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional design and involved 260 registered Jordanian nurses working in critical care units across three healthcare sectors (government, private, and educational). The data collection took place from June to August 2022, using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 42) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).
resultsThe findings revealed that over half of the critical care nurses experienced moderate to extremely severe anxiety (57.7%). Approximately 50.0% of nurses reported moderate to extremely severe depression, while 33.5% experienced moderate to extremely severe stress. Additionally, more than half of the nurses (66.5%) had low resilience. A significant positive correlation was found between resilience and marital status (r = 0.210, p < 0.01), while a significant negative correlation was observed between resilience and anxiety (r = -0.128, p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study could assist hospital managers and healthcare professionals in developing training programs and workshops to reduce psychological issues and improve resilience among critical care nurses. CLINICAL TRIAL: No.
