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
Introduction: This study explored experiences of conflict among Chinese Physicians and Nurses following the loss of a loved one. This study aimed to examine the mechanisms behind these conflicting experiences as perceived by Chinese Physicians and Nurses. Methods: This qualitative exploratory study was conducted in three Chinese hospitals. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 Physicians and Nurses members using a descriptive phenomenological analysis. Colaizzi's seven-step analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Results: The following three themes and six sub-themes were identified: terminal stage (the responsibility exacerbates the burden of medical decision-making and professional expertise exacerbating internal conflict); acute loss stage (the experience of bereavement disrupts the professional values of medical personnel and emotional projection and avoidance of similar operations); bereavement recovery (reflection on the meaning of the profession and reconceptualization of death). Conclusion: These dual roles place significant psychological pressure on the Chinese Physicians and Nurses and lead to emotional fluctuations and complex internal conflicts when facing the death of their loved ones. Hospital administrators should recognize these contradictions, understand their complex emotions, and provide appropriate social support to address the needs of the Physicians and Nurses.
