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: This study aimed to evaluate emergency nurses' knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy in managing patient pain. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2022, collected data using four questionnaires: one on demographic characteristics (including age, gender, marital status, education level, shift type, clinical experience, and history of participating in pain management workshops); the Pain Management Practices Assessment Tool for evaluating nurses' knowledge about pain management; the Nurses' Attitude Survey for assessing nurses' attitudes toward pain management; and the Pain Management Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for measuring nurses' self-efficacy in pain management. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software. Results: 212 emergency department nurses participated in this study, averaging 30.83 years (SD = 4.99). The mean score for nurses' knowledge about pain management was 83.33 (SD = 7.95). The mean score for nurses' attitudes toward pain management was 55.48 (SD = 7.44). Additionally, the average score for nurses' self-efficacy about pain management was 46.17 (SD = 16.69). There was a positive and significant correlation between knowledge and self-efficacy ( Conclusions: Future research should focus on longitudinal studies, objective measures, and interdisciplinary approaches to further understand and improve pain management in emergency settings. These insights can inform policy development and the creation of standardized protocols to ensure effective and consistent pain management practices across healthcare environments.
