Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Caring attributes reflect the nurses' view of care and the importance of caring roles for nurses. Nursing education also provides an ideal situation to develop students' caring behaviors. However, nursing educators have little knowledge of the influences of educational programs and student development at different stages, mainly due to limited exposure to updated training or research in this area. The present study aimed to compare the caring attributes experienced by nursing students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Methods: This a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 nursing students in the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery of Kerman University of Medical Sciences in Kerman, Southeastern Iran, from 2019 to 2020. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling. The data were collected using a two-part questionnaire including a demographic information form and a 34-item caring attributes questionnaire (CAQ). Results: It was shown that the mean score of students' caring attributes was 122.03 ± 11.77 at a desirable level (higher than the median score (= 104.5). No statistically significant difference in overall caring attribute scores was found among students across the three educational levels (Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral) ( Conclusions: While overall caring attributes were at a desirable level, the study revealed significant differences in specific attributes based on educational level. These findings highlight the importance of considering educational level when fostering caring behaviors in nursing students, particularly in communication and negation aspects of care.
