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
backgroundInterprofessional collaboration and participation of physicians and nurses in clinical decisions can be an important indicator in increasing the quality of safe care in hospitals. This study was conducted to investigate the level of nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions and the factors affecting it from the perspectives of nurses working in teaching hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in southern Iran.
methodsThis descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 385 nurses from January to April 2024. The data collection tool was standard questionnaires. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression using SPSS23 software at a significance level of 0.05.
resultsThe mean scores of nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions and the factors affecting this participation were 41.12 ± 6.57 out of 75 and 84.32 ± 8.16 out of 150, respectively, which indicated the moderate status of these two. Between the amount of nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions and factors affecting this participation, including individual factors (P < 0.001, r = 0.825), social factors (P < 0.001, r = 0.784), organizational factors (P < 0.001, r = 0.766), and clinical factors (P < 0.001, r = 0.759), a statistically significant correlation was observed. Furthermore, individual (β = 0.721; CI = 0.400-1.042), social (β = 0.691; CI = 0.395-0.987), organizational (β = 0.664; CI = 0.374-0.954), and clinical (β = 0.639; CI = 0.381-0.897) factors were found to be significantly associated with nurses' participation in doctors' clinical decisions (P < 0.001). In addition, age (β = 0.213; CI = 0.025-0.401) and work experience (β = 0.194; CI = 0.047-0.341) also showed significant associations with the outcome (P < 0.05).
conclusionBased on the results, the improvement of individual, social, organizational, and clinical factors may be associated with increasing nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions. It is recommended that nurses' participation in clinical decisions be emphasized by holding ongoing training courses such as collaborative management, conflict management, and evidence-based decision-making for physicians. Hospital managers should also train and improve communication skills between physicians and nurses by holding periodic courses and seminars in hospitals. The findings of this study can be a basis for planning to improve the status of nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions in hospitals.
