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: Academic publication is a cornerstone of advancing nursing science, as it provides evidence-based research that guides clinical practice and education. However, the pressure to publish for career advancement has led to concerns about behaviours such as the 'urge to publish' and 'panic publishing'. The perception behind these trends remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the perception of Indian nurse academicians on academic publications. Methodology: This cross-sectional study surveyed Indian nurse academicians from Institutes of National Importance (INIs) of India who were selected convenient sampling technique. Data was collected through an online self-structured questionnaire. The survey covered socio-demographic details and perceptions for publishing in academic publications. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 26.0, with descriptive and inferential statistics. A significance level (p < 0.05) was used for statistical associations. Results: Of the respondents, 66.8% were female, and 92.3% had published before [median 12 (IQR 7-38) articles], with 21.7% preferring PubMed-indexed journals. More than two-thirds of participants (64.7%) spent an excessive amount of time on the publication process. There were differences by gender as men were more prone to assess publication metrics (p<0.05), ignore other facets of life for publishing (p=0.005), and self-reported publication addiction-like behaviors (18% compared to 4% for women). Conclusion: Academic publishing is a crucial but stress-inducing aspect of nurse academicians' careers. These findings underscore the need for a balanced approach that values quality over quantity in academic publishing. Institutions should promote ethical research practices, provide support to manage publication pressures and foster a more sustainable academic environment.
