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
backgroundMale nurses play an important role in the nursing industry, but organizational silence is prevalent, leading to high turnover rates, a young and unstable workforce, and hindering the development of the nursing profession. This study aims to analyze the underlying causes of organizational silence among male nurses and provide empirical evidence for managers to stabilize the male nursing workforce and tap into their value.
methodUsing WeChat as an online communication platform, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 male nurses from four tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province (southern China), Hunan Province (central China), Guizhou Province (southwestern China), and Jiangxi Province (southeastern China) using an interpretive phenomenological research method. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method.
resultsMale nurses' experiences of organizational silence were distilled into three themes: the influence of leadership on speaking up, low social acceptance, and subjective influence.
conclusionThis study found that organizational silence among male nurses is widespread and severe, influenced by various factors such as organizational atmosphere, policy systems, and social recognition. Nursing managers should optimize management strategies, improve communication, enhance male nurses' professional identity, and establish reasonable training pathways to enhance their professional and academic capabilities, thereby gaining social recognition, stabilizing the nursing workforce, and promoting the diversification and high-quality development of the nursing profession.
