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
aimTo investigate team collaboration experiences of the nurses and physicians working in inpatient psychiatry units related to physical restraint practices in Türkiye.
methodsThe present study was conducted in the Adult Psychiatry Inpatient Unit of a university hospital in a province in western Türkiye between May 2022 and January 2023. The study data were collected through 11 individual, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. The present study has a descriptive qualitative research design. In the analysis of the data obtained from the interviews, the content analysis method was used.
resultsNurses stated that they play a central role in patient observation and initial intervention during escalating behavior. The formal decision to apply physical restraint was legally attributed to physicians. Participants described the physical restraint process as emotionally and physically distressing, emphasizing that clinical experience, clear communication, and teamwork were essential facilitators, while staff shortages and the presence of uninformed patient relatives posed significant barriers. In the study, the following five main themes emerged: "being a part of the process but not taking part in it, staying a step away from it," "another side of psychiatry-an unpleasant practice," "facilitators," "barriers," and "recommendations."
conclusionThere are uncertainties in the decision-making and implementation processes of physical restraint. These research results affect patient safety in psychiatric inpatient units providing mental health services.
